Come, Son of Abraham and of God

Verse 1
Come, Son of Abraham and of God,
Saviour on the world bestow’d,
To ransom and to bless,
And let our souls possest of thee
The true compleat felicity,
The sovereign good possess.

Verse 2
Thy faithful word and oath we plead:
Shew thyself the promis’d seed,
The all-redeeming Lord,
And let us in thy favour find
And in thy purity of mind
Our paradise restor’d.

Verse 3
In this thrice acceptable hour
Exercise thy pard’ning power,
Our curse and sin remove,
Admit us to the gospel feast,
And give our new-born souls to taste
The blessedness of love.

Verse 4
In peace incomprehensible
Pardon on our conscience seal,
In joy and love unknown:
Or’ewhelm us with the blissful sight
Which sinks the first-born sons of light
In silence round thy throne.
