Come, Thou uni­ver­sal bless­ing,
Abraham’s long ex­pect­ed seed;
Perfect peace and joy un­ceas­ing
Thro’ the ran­somed na­tions spread:
Devilish pride, and bru­tal pas­sion,
Far from ev­ery heart re­move;
Bless us with Thy full sal­va­tion,
Bless us with Thy hea­ven­ly love.

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!
