LyicsCome, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in ev'ry breast;
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel,
The joys that cannot be express'd.
Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,
Make our enlarged souls possess
And learn the height, and breadth & length
Of thine amazing love and grace.
Now to the God whose pow'r can do
More than our thoughts and wishes know,
Be everlasting honors done
By all the church, thro' Christ his Son.
