R2. Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell

1 Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in every breast;
Then shall we know and taste and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.

2 Come, fill our hearts with inward strength;
Make our enlarged souls possess
And learn the height, the breadth, and length
Of Thine unmeasurable grace.

Amen.
