16565. Come, Savior Dear, With Us Abide

1 Come, Sav­ior dear, with us ab­ide,
We need Thy kind com­pas­sion;
Thy flock to liv­ing waters guide,
Which are Thy wounds and pas­sion;
And lead us into pas­tures green,
Where faith­ful souls are ev­er seen
In peace and bliss­ful un­ion.

2 O Sea of love, pour out Thy flood
O’er all in bless­èd show­ers;
The fie­ry darts quench with Thy blood
And crush hell’s ev­il pow­ers.
Thou, of the world the Mer­cy Seat,
Let of Thy love the gentle heat
Set all our hearts aglow­ing.
