LyicsCome, O thou King of all thy saints,
Our humble tribute own,
While, with our praises and complaints,
We bow before thy throne.
How should our songs, like those above,
With warm devotion rise!
How should our souls, on wings of love,
Mount upward to the skies!
But, ah, the song, how faint it flows!
How languid our desire!
How dim the sacred passion glows
Till thou the heart inspire!
Blest Saviour, let thy glory shine,
And fill thy dwelling here,
Till life, and love, and joy divine,
A heav'n on earth appear.
