399. Anticipation of Heaven

1 Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue;
And let the joys of heaven impart
Their influence to our song.

2 Sorrow, and pain, and ev'ry care,
And discord there shall cease;
And perfect joy, and love sincere
Adorn the realms of peace.

3 The soul, from sin forever free,
Shall mourn its pow'r no more;
But, cloth'd in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.

4 There on a throne, how dazzling bright,
Th'exalted Saviour shines,
And beams ineffable delight
On all the heav'nly minds.

5 There shall the foll'wers of the Lamb
Join in immortal songs,
And endless honors to his name
Employ their tuneful tongues.

6 Lord, tune our hearts to praise and love,
Our feeble notes inspire;
Till, in thy blissful course above,
We join th'angelic choir.
