Verse 1
All-loving, all-redeeming Lord,
Thy wandring sheep with pity see,
Who slight thy dearest dying word,
And will not thus remember thee,
To all who would perform thy will
The glorious promis’d truth reveal.

Verse 2
Can we enjoy thy richest love,
Nor long that they the grace may share?
Thou from their eyes the scales remove,
Thou the eternal word declare,
Thy Spirit with thy word impart,
And speak the precept to their heart.

Verse 3
If chiefly here thou may’st be found,
If now, e’en now we find thee here,
O let their joys like ours abound,
Invite them to the royal chear,
Feed with imperishable food,
And fill their raptur’d souls with God.

Verse 4
Jesu, we will not let thee go,
But keep herein our fastest hold,
Till thou to them thy counsel shew,
And call and make us all one fold,
One hallow’d undivided bread,
One body knit to thee our head.
