Hymn 316
Come, O Thou all-victorious Lord
- mf Come, O Thou all-victorious Lord,
Thy pow'r to us make known;
Strike with the hammer of Thy word.
And break these hearts of stone.
- cr O that we all might now begin,
Our foolishness to mourn.
And turn at once from every sin.
And lo our Saviour turn!
- mp Give us ourselves and Thee to know.
In this our gracious day;
Repentance unto life bestow.
And take our sins away.
- cr Conclude us first in unbelief.
And freely then release
Fill every soul with sacred grief.
And then with sacred peace.
- mp Impov'rish, Lord, and then relieve.
And then enrich the poor;
The knowledge of our sickness give.
The knowledge of our cure.
- That blessed sense of guilt impart
And then remove the load;
Trouble, and wash the troubled heart
In the atoning blood.
- Our desp'rate state through sin declare.
And speak our sins forgiv'n;
By perfect holiness prepare.
And take us up to heav'n.
Christly Living
