<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’s gates?</p>
|
|
<p>E’en now, when tempests round us fall,<br>
|
|
And wintry clouds o’ercast the sky,<br>
|
|
Thy words with pleasure we recall,<br>
|
|
And deem that our redemption’s nigh.</p>
|
|
<p>Come, gracious Lord, our hearts renew,<br>
|
|
Our foes repel, our wrongs redress,<br>
|
|
Man’s rooted enmity subdue,<br>
|
|
And crown Thy Gospel with success.</p>
|
|
<p>O come, and reign o’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>
