1

Come, O thou all-victorious Lord!Thy power to us make known;Strike with the hammer of thy word,And break these hearts of stone.

2

Give us ourselves and thee to know,In this our gracious day;Repentance unto life bestow,And take our sins away.

3

Convince us first of unbelief,And freely then release;Fill every soul with sacred grief,And then with sacred peace.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «402» (large) with the reference line «111, 438, 74.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 111, 438 or 74); the hymn stands in the lower half of the right column of p. 130, below hymn 401, and ends at the foot of that column with «Charles Wesley.» in italics. The first word «COME,» is set in capitals and small capitals («C» + «OME»). The print sets a thin space before «!» and «;» («Lord !», «known ;», «day ;», «release ;»); it is closed up here. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's («all-victorious»). No meter is printed (the text is C. M., 8.6.8.6, like the three tunes of the reference line).
