LyicsCome Lord, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue;
And let the joys of heaven impart
Their influence to our song.
Sorrow, and pain, and every care,
And discord there shall cease;
And perfect joy, and love sincere
Adorn the realms of peace.
The soul, from sin forever free,
Shall mourn its power no more;
But clothed in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.
There on a throne, (how dazzling bright)
Th' exalted Saviour shines;
And beams ineffable delight
On all the heavenly minds.
There shall the followers of the Lamb
Join in immortal songs;
And endless honors to his name
Employ their tuneful tongues.
Lord, tune our hearts to praise & love,
Our feeble notes inspire;
'Till, in thy blissful courts above,
We join th' angelic choir.
