Angel of covenanted grace,
Come to this longing soul of mine!
Thy presence makes the holiest place,
Thy coming consecrates the shrine:
As lightning let thy coming be,
To all who bear thy word in mind,
And who their Eden seek in thee,
In thee let them their Eden find.
Angel of covenanted grace, come to this longing
