¶Lyrics / Text

Above the stars my Saviour dwells; I love, I care for nothing else. There, there he sits and fills a place for the glorious heirs of grace. Dear Saviour, raise my duller eyne; let me but see thy beams divine. Ravish my soul with wonder and desire; ere I enjoy, let me thy joys admire. And wond'ring let me say, come, Lord Jesu, come away.
