COME, wisdom, power, and grace divine,
By A Collection of Hymns

      8s & 6s.
      1 COME, wisdom, power, and grace divine,
      Come, Jesus, in thy name to join
      A happy chosen band;
      Who fain would prove thine utmost will,
      And all thy righteous laws fulfil,
      In love's benign command.

      2 If pure essential love thou art,
      Thy nature into every heart,
      Thy loving self, inspire;
      Bid all our simple souls be one,
      United in a bond unknown,
      Baptized with heavenly fire.

      3 Still may we to our centre tend,
      To spread thy praise our common end,
      To help each other on;
      Companions through the wilderness,
      To share a moment's pain, and seize
      An everlasting crown.

      4 Jesus, our tendered souls prepare!
      Infuse the softest social care,
      The warmest charity,
      The pity of the bleeding Lamb,
      The virtues of thy wondrous name,
      The heart that was in thee.

      5 Supply what every member wants;
      To found the fellowship of saints,
      Thy Spirit, Lord, supply;
      So shall we all thy love receive,
      Together to thy glory live,
      And to thy glory die.
