Come, Dearest Lord
Come, Dearest Lord
1. Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwellBy faith and love, in ev’ry breast.Then shall we know and taste and feelThe joys that cannot be expressed,The joys that cannot be expressed.
2. Come, fill our hearts with inward strength;Make our enlarging souls possessAnd learn the height and breadth and lengthAnd depth of thine unmeasured grace,And depth of thine unmeasured grace.
3. Now to the God, whose power can doMore than our thoughts or wishes know,Be everlasting honor done,By all the Church, through Christ, his Son,By all the Church, through Christ, his Son.
