Bellingham by Jacob French — Lyrics
The love of Christ shed abroad in the heart. Ephesians 3:16 ff.
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in every breast;
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.
Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,

About Bellingham
This SATB setting of a devotional English text opens by reflecting on the love of Christ. The words speak of his dwelling within the believer by faith and love, bringing joys beyond expression, and filling hearts with strength to comprehend his unmeasurable grace. The text concludes with a doxology, offering everlasting honours to God through his Son. Jacob French's music for these sacred words would serve well in a liturgical setting or as a moving anthem for choir.
