1 O COME, Thou stricken Lamb of God!Who shed'st for us Thine own life-blood,And teach us all Thy love --- then painIn life were sweet and death were gain.2 Take Thou our hearts, and let them beFor ever closed to all but Thee;Thy willing servants, let us wearThe seal of love for ever there.3 How blest are they who still abideClose sheltered by Thy watchful side;Who life and strength from Thee receive,And with Thee move, and in Thee live.4 Ah, Lord! enlarge our scanty thought,To know the wonders Thou hast wrought;Unloose our stammering tongues to tellThy love, immense, unsearchable.5 Firstborn of many brethren, Thou!To whom both heaven and earth must bow;Heirs of Thy shame and of Thy throne,We bear the cross, and seek the crown.
