Come flood this heart of mine
With your great love divine.
Come quickly, Lord I pray,
Abide with us today.
Come flood this heart of mine
With your great love divine.
Come flood this heart of mine
With your pure joy divine.
Give to the earth this night
Your everlasting light.
Come flood this heart of mine
With your pure joy divine.
Prepare my heart for the One who will come to earth,
God's son, who will come in a humble, lowly birth.
Prepare my heart for his presence in this place.
May my heart overflow with the fullness of his grace.
Come flood this heart of mine,
With your true light divine.
O come, Emmanuel,
The darkness now dispel.
Come flood this heart of mine,
With your true light divine.
