[Come Thou universal Blessing]

In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. —xii. 3.

Come Thou universal Blessing,
Abraham's long-expected Seed,
Perfect peace, and joy unceasing
Through the ransom'd nations spread;
Devilish pride, and brutal passion
Far from every heart remove,
Bless us with Thy full salvation,
Bless us with Thy heavenly love.

17

Happy is the man forgiven:
This let every sinner feel,
Taste in Thee his present heaven,
Pant for greater blessings still:
O that all anew created
Might Thine image here retrieve,
Then to paradise translated
In Thy glorious presence live.
