Come, let me love, or is my mind

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #197 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come let me love, or is my mind Harden'd to stone, or froze to ice? I see the blessed fair one bend, And stoop t'embrace me from the skies! 2 Oh! 'tis a thought would melt a rock, And make an heart of iron move, That those sweet lips, that heav'nly look, Should seek and wish a mortal love! 3 I was a traitor doom'd to fire, Bound to sustain eternal pains; He flew on wings of strong desire, Assum'd my guilt, and took my chains. 4 Infinite grace! almighty charms! Stand in amaze, ye rolling skies! Jesus, the God, extends his arms, Hangs on a cross of love, and dies. 5 Did pity ever stoop so low Dress'd in divinity and blood? Was ever rebel courted so, In groans of an expiring God? 6 Again he lives, and spreads his hands, Hands that were nail'd to torturing smart; "By these dear wounds," says he; and stands, And prays to clasp me to his heart. 7 Sure I must love; or are my ears Still deaf, nor will my passions move? Lord! melt this stubborn heart to tears; This heart shall yield to death or love. Topics: Holy Spirit From the love of Christ; The wonderful love of Christ
