Lyics

Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell

By faith and love in every breast;

Then shall we know, and taste and feel

The joys that cannot be expressed.



Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,

Make our enlarged souls possess,

And learn the height and breadth and  length

Of thine amazing love and grace.



Now to the God whose power can do

More than our thoughts & wishes know,

Be everlasting honors done

By all the church, thro' Christ his Son.
