Come, heavenly Love, inspire my song
With thine immortal flame,
And teach my heart, and teach my tongue
The Saviour‘s lovely name.
The Saviour !—oh, what endless charms
Dwell in that blissful sound!
Its influence every fear disarms,
And spreads delight around.
Wrapped in the gloom of dark despair,
We helpless, hopeless lay:
But sovereign mercy reached us there,
And smiled despair away.
The Almighty Former of the skies
Stoops to our vile abode;
While angels view with wondering eyes
And hail the incarnate God.
Incarnate God !—now to thine arms
I yield my captive soul:
Oh, let thine all-subduing charms
My inmost powers control!
