EN 4724 Come, Lord, and Tarry Not
Rom.8.22
Versi Version 1
1
Come, Lord, and tarry not;
Bring the long looked for day;
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of decay?
2
Come, for Thy saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come”;
Does Thou not hear the cry?
3
Come, for creation groans,
Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.
4
Come, for love waxes cold,
Its steps are faint and slow;
Faith now is lost in unbelief,
Hope’s lamp burns dim and low.
5
Come in Thy glorious might,
Come with the iron rod,
Scattering Thy foes before Thy face,
Most mighty Son of God!
6
Come, and make all things new,
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation’s second birth.
7
Come, and begin Thy reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to Thyself,
Great King of Righteousness.
