Verse 1
Lord Jesus, come!
Nor let us longer roam
Afar from Thee, and that bright place
Where we shall see Thee face to face.
Lord Jesus, come!
Verse 2
Lord Jesus, come!
Thine absence here we mourn;
No joy we know apart from Thee,
No sorrow in Thy presence see.
Come, Saviour, come!
Verse 3
Lord Jesus, come!
And claim us as Thine own;
Our weary feet would wander o'er
This dark and sinful world no more.
Come, Saviour, come!
Verse 4
Lord Jesus, come!
And take Thy people home;
That all Thy flock, so scattered here,
With Thee in glory may appear.
Lord Jesus, come!
