VIII. Come Lord draw near, we long, we long Thy face to see, thy love To taste, thy voice to hear, within To feel thy Spirit move. Thou art all fair, thou hast no spot, Thy beauty is divine: Thou art all love, embrace us Lord In those sweet Arms of thine.
IX. We look, we wait, we hope, we trust, We long, we love, we burn. Ravish thou dost our hearts, whilst thou To us thine Eye dost turn. With all the powers of our Souls Dear Jesus we thee praise, In songs of joy and thankfulness Our voices we do raise.
