Lyics

Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart;

Inspire each lifeless tongue;

And let the joys of heav'n impart

Their influence to our song.



Then to the shining realms of bliss

The wings of faith shall soar,

And all the charms of Paradise

Our raptur'd thoughts explore.



There shall the foll'wers of the Lamb

Join in immortal songs,

And endless honors to his name

Employ their tuneful tongues.



Lord, tune our hearts to praise and love;

Our feeble notes inspire,

Till, in thy blissful courts above,

We join the heav'nly choir.
