Come, thou desire of all thy saints

1 Come, Thou Desire of all Thy saints,
Our humble strains attend,
While with our praises and complaints,
Low at Thy feet we bend.

2 How should our songs, like those above,
With warm devotion rise?
How should our souls, on wings of love,
Mount upward to the skies?

3 Come Lord! Thy love alone can raise
In us the heavenly flame;
Then shall our lips resound Thy praise
Our hearts adore Thy name!

4 Now, Savior, let Thy glory shine,
And fill the dwellings here
Till life, and love, and joy divine,
A heaven on earth appear.

5 When shall our hearts, enraptured, say
“Come, great Redeemer, come,
And bring the bright, the glorious day
That calls Thy children home?”

      1 Come, Thou Desire of all Thy saints,
      Our humble strains attend,
      While with our praises and complaints,
      Low at Thy feet we bend.

      2 How should our songs, like those above,
      With warm devotion rise?
      How should our souls, on wings of love,
      Mount upward to the skies?

      3 Come Lord! Thy love alone can raise
      In us the heavenly flame;
      Then shall our lips resound Thy praise
      Our hearts adore Thy name!

      4 Now, Savior, let Thy glory shine,
      And fill the dwellings here
      Till life, and love, and joy divine,
      A heaven on earth appear.

      5 When shall our hearts, enraptured, say
      “Come, great Redeemer, come,
      And bring the bright, the glorious day
      That calls Thy children home?”
