Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14667 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Come, Lord, come quickly from above Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, come quickly from above,
The object of Thy bleeding love
Is sick, and wants Thine aid;
Lover of every helpless soul,
O let Thy pity make him whole,
Whose mind on Thee is stayed.
2 His only trust is in Thy blood,
Thou sinner’s Advocate with God,
Thou all-atoning Lamb;
The virtue of Thy death impart,
Speak comfort to his drooping heart,
And tell him all Thy name.
3 Give Him Thy pardoning love to feel,
And freely his backsliding heal,
Repair his faith’s decay;
Restore the sweetness of Thy grace,
Reveal the glories of Thy face,
And take his sins away.
4 Speak, Lord, and let him find Thee near,
O bid him now be of good cheer,
Declare his sins forgiv’n;
Return, Thou Prince of Peace, return
Thou Comforter of all that mourn,
And take him up to Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: ADVENT
