1 Come, Lord, and tarry not!
Bring the long-looked for day!
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for your saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans
With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin your reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
Great King of Righteousness!
