4 Yet ah! how long was it before Thou couldst make us to yield? We were so dark, but now, O Lord, Thou, thou hast won the Field.
5 Let us our selves give up to thee, As overcome with love; And comfort us continually With Cordials from above.
6 Ah! at this door our joys come in, This is the blessed spring Of all true good; for having thee, We have, Lord, every thing.
6 Ah! at this door our joys come in, This is the blessed spring Of all true good; for having thee, We have, Lord, ev'ry thing.
7 And if Communion we enjoy, And find thy comfort sweet, Our Souls shall sing, and raise thy praise, Whilst we lye at thy feet.
