by C. Dent
1
Lord Jesus, come,
 
And take Thy rightful place
 
As Son of Man, of all the theme!
 
Come, Lord, to reign o’er all supreme,
 
Lord Jesus, come!
2
Lord Jesus, come!
 
The Man of sorrows once,
 
The Man of patience waiting now — 
 
The Man of joy, forever, Thou,
 
Come, Savior, come!
“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:3)
“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” (2 Thessalonians 3:5)
“And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.” (John 17:13)
3
Lord Jesus, come!
 
Crowned with Thy many crowns — 
 
The Crucified, the Lamb once slain,
 
To wash away sin’s crimson stain,
 
Lord Jesus, come!
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” (Revelation 19:12)
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” (Revelation 5:6)
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18)
4
Lord Jesus, come,
 
And take Thy Father’s gift,
 
The people by Thy cross made Thine,
 
The trophy of Thy love divine!
 
Lord Jesus, come!
“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:24)
“And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.” (Hebrews 2:13)
5
Lord Jesus, come,
 
That, lost in Thee, our souls
 
May bow and worship and adore,
 
In Thy blest presence evermore!
 
Lord Jesus, come!
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
6
Lord Jesus, come,
 
And let Thy glory shine,
 
That quickly these changed bodies may
 
Each one reflect a living ray,
 
Lord Jesus, come!
“Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
7
Lord Jesus, come!
 
Let every knee bow down,
 
And every tongue to Thee confess,
 
The Lord of all come forth to bless,
 
Lord Jesus, come!
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11)
8
Spirit and bride,
 
With longing voice, say, Come;
 
Yea, Lord, Thy word from that bright home
 
Is, "Surely, I will quickly come!"
 
E’en so, Lord, come.
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17)
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
