4,6,8,8,4.
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!
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!
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!
5
Lord Jesus, come,
 
That, lost in Thee, our souls
 
May bow and worship and adore,
 
In Thy blest presence evermore!
 
Lord Jesus, come!
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)
