Lyrics

Come in, come in, O bless­èd One;
My heart is all Thine own;
Here make Thy con­stant dwell­ing place,
Thy tem­ple and Thy throne.

Refrain

Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
For the grace that makes me free;
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hallelujah, Lord, to Thee.

Come in, come in, O bless­èd One;
Thou King of kings di­vine;
My life, my will, my ev­ery pow­er,
Without re­serve are Thine.

Refrain

Come in, come in, O bless­èd One;
Whose name the an­gels praise,
While mor­tal tongues in hum­bler strains,
Their grate­ful tri­bute raise.

Refrain

Come in, O sun of right­eous­ness,
And source of end­less day,
Thou Lamb of God, whose cleans­ing blood
Has washed my sins away.
