Come, Lord, and Let Thy Power

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1885
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

Come

Lord

and let Thy pow­er

On each and all des­cend

While ga­thered in Thy ho­ly name

Before Thy throne we bend.

Refresh our wait­ing souls

Our fee­ble faith in­spire

And from Thine al­tar touch our hearts

With coals of sac­red fire.

Come

Lord

and let Thy pow­er

Each thought of self re­move;

And may we feel as ne’er be­fore

Thy pure and per­fect love.

Our wait­ing

long­ing eyes

Are look­ing up to Thee

O may we

in Thy smil­ing face

Our Fa­ther’s glo­ry see.

Come

Lord

Thy pow­er alone

The work of grace can do;

Now let it con­se­crate to Thee

Our hearts and lives anew.

Be ours

with fer­vent zeal

Thy blood­stained cross to bear;

Till at Thy feet we lay it down

A crown of life to wear.
