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

Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine,And fill thy dwellings here,Till life, and love, and joy divine,A heaven on earth appear.

3

Show us some token of thy love,Our fainting hopes to raise;And pour thy blessing from above,To aid our feeble praise.

4

Then shall our hearts enraptured say,"Come, great Redeemer! come,And bring the bright, the glorious day,That calls thy children home."
