Tune: | WARWICK |
Composer: | Samuel Stanley, 1767-1822 |
1 Come, Thou Desire of all Thy saints,
Our humble strains attend,
While with our praises and complaints,
Low at Thy feet we bend.
2 How should our songs, like those above,
With warm devotion rise?
How should our souls, on wings of love,
Mount upward to the skies?
3 Come Lord, Thy love alone can raise
In us the heavenly flame;
Then shall our lips resound Thy praise,
Our hearts adore Thy name!
4 Now, Savior, let Thy glory shine,
And fill Thy dwellings here
Till life, and love, and joy divine,
A heaven on earth appear.
5 When shall our hearts, enraptured, say
"Come, great Redeemer, come,
And bring the bright, the glorious day
That calls Thy children home?"
Amen.
