by Richard Crashaw (c1612 - 1649)
Come Love, come Lord
Language: English
Come Love, come Lord, and that long day For which I languish, come away. When this dry soul those eyes shall see And drink the unseal'd source of Thee, When glory's sun faith's shades shall chase, Then for Thy veil give me Thy face.
