Come, Dearest Lord

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 en­larg­èd souls pos­sess

And learn the height

and breadth

and length

Of Thine un­mea­sur­able grace.

Now to the God whose pow­er can do

More than our thoughts or wish­es know

Be ev­er­last­ing hon­ors done

By all the Church

through Christ His Son.
