Even So, Lord Jesus, Come

Even so

Lord Je­sus

come;

Hope of all our hopes the sum

Take Thy wait­ing peo­ple home.

Long

so long

our bless­èd dead

Wait

from out the grave’s dark bed

At Thine ad­vent to be led.

Long

so long

the groan­ing earth

Cursed with war

and flood

and dearth

Sighs for its re­demp­tion birth.

Wherefore come

we dai­ly pray

Wipe cre­ation’s curse away;

Bring the re­sur­rect­ion day.
