Christ My Song - 2478

Come from on high, my King and God
(Augustus M. Toplady/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Come from on high, my King and God.

1. Come from on high, my King and God,
  my confidence thou art;
display the virtue of thy blood,
  and circumcise my heart. PDF - Midi

2. From heaven, thy holy place, on me
  descend in mercy down;
balm of the world, I thirst for thee,
  to know thee for my own.

3. From top to bottom rend the veil
  that keeps me out of God;
remove the bar, and let me feel
  that I am thine abode.

4. O might this worthless heart of mine
  the Saviour's temple be!
emptied of every love but thine,
  and shut to all but thee!

5. I long to find thy presence there,
  I long to see thy face;
Almighty Lord, my heart prepare
  the Saviour to embrace.

6. Thou know'st, O Lord, no rest I have
  by reason of my sin;
convince me of thy power to save,
  and say, "I will, be clean."

Augustus M. Toplady, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1860, 38-39.
