14. Come, Saviour Dear, with Us Abide

1 Come, Saviour dear, with us abide,
We need Thy kind compassion;
Thy flock to living waters guide,
Which are Thy wounds and passion;
And lead us into pastures green,
Where faithful souls are ever seen
In peace and blissful union.

2 O Sea of Love, pour out Thy flood
O’er all in blessed showers;
The fiery darts quench with Thy blood,
And crush hell’s evil powers.
And when before Thy mercy-seat,
In song and prayer Thy children meet,
Set Thou our hearts aglowing.

Amen.
