<p>Jesus, Thy church with longing eyes<br>
For Thine expected coming waits:<br>
When will the promised Light arise,<br>
And glory beam from Zion&#8217;s gates?</p>
<p>E&#8217;en now, when tempests round us fall,<br>
And wintry clouds o&#8217;ercast the sky,<br>
Thy words with pleasure we recall,<br>
And deem that our redemption&#8217;s nigh.</p>
<p>Come, gracious Lord, our hearts renew,<br>
Our foes repel, our wrongs redress,<br>
Man&#8217;s rooted enmity subdue,<br>
And crown Thy Gospel with success.</p>
<p>O come, and reign o&#8217;er every land;<br>
Let Satan from his throne be hurled;<br>
Let nations bow to Thy command,<br>
And grace revive a dying world.</p>
<p>Teach us in watchfulness and prayer<br>
To wait for the appointed hour;<br>
And fit us for Thy grace to share<br>
The triumph of Thy conquering power.</p>
