Verse 1
Eternal Son of God most high,
Whose glory fills both earth and sky,
Return, th’ incarnate Deity,
And manifest thyself to me.

Verse 2
Who didst for all mankind atone,
Still make thy gracious purpose known,
And answer on this soul of mine
Thy sin-extirpating design.

Verse 3
My Saviour to the utmost here,
Appear, that sin may disappear:
It cannot in thy presence stay,
But flies, and vanishes away.

Verse 4
Come, and thy precious Self reveal,
Satan with all his works t’ expel,
And, more than conquering sin, remove,
Destroy it by thy perfect love.

Verse 5
Explain, great God, the mystery,
Emptied Thyself to empty me,
Made flesh, to finish inbred sin,
And endless righteousness bring in.

Verse 6
To crown these infinite desires,
Infinite good my soul requires,
Come then, and fill this boundless void,
Fulness of grace, of love, of God.
