1 Blest Saviour, we thy will obey;
Not of constraint, but with delight,
Thy servants hither come today
To honor thine appointed rite.
2 With faith in thy blest name we come,
The Spirit's cleansing power confess;
O Saviour, from thy heavenly home
Confirm the covenant of thy grace!
3 Descend, descend, Celestial Dove,
On these dear followers of the Lord;
Exalted Head of all the church,
Thy promised aid to them afford.
4 Let faith, assisted now by signs,
The wonders of thy love explore;
And, washed in thy redeeming blood,
Let them depart and sin no more.
