Come Quickly, Lord Jesus

The time is come

Thou shalt arise

And scat­ter Is­ra­el’s ene­mies!

O list to Ju­dah’s plaint­ive cry

And turn to joy their sor­row.

My Sav­ior so dear

Lord Je­sus

ap­pear;

We long for our home

Come quick­ly

Lord Je­sus

come.

For like a flood has come the foe

His ga­ther­ing forc­es dai­ly grow

The knee to him we will not bow;

Lift up

O Lord

Thy stan­dard.

The way is hard

the path is steep

And dark­ness ga­thers o’er the deep;

’Tis on­ly Thou canst shield and keep

Me

in this hour of dan­ger.

I wait to see the part­ing cloud

I wait to hear the trum­pet loud;

I wait with deep de­sir­ings bowed

To see Thee in Thy glo­ry.
