Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #303 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Come, divine Emmanuel, come,
Take possession of Thy home;
Now Thy mercy's wings expand,
Stretch throughout the happy land.
2 Carry on Thy victory,
Spread Thy rule from sea to sea;
Rescue all Thy ransomed race,
Save us, save us, Lord, by grace.
3 Take the purchase of Thy Blood,
Bring us to a pardoning God:
Give us eyes to see our day,
Hearts the Gospel truth to obey:
4 Ears to hear the Gospel sound,--
Grace doth more than sin abound;
God appeased, and man forgiven,
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven.
5 O that every soul might be
Perfectly subdued to Thee!
O that all in Thee might know
Everlasting life below!
6 Now Thy mercy's wings expand,
Stretch throughout the happy land:
Take possession of Thy home;
Come, divine Emmanuel, come!
