The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#8

8. Jesus, our Lord, make no delay

1 Jesus, our Lord, make no delay
To meet us with thy love;
Drive interposing clouds away,
And make our guilt remove.

2 What do we here without thy grace,
O blessed Lamb of God?
'Twill be a dark and tiresome place
Unless we feel thy word.

3 Come in with power to every soul,
O thou immortal Dove;
Make every wounded spirit whole
With thy redeeming love.

4 We long to meet our God to-day,
And taste his grace divine;
That every soul with joy may say,
"My Lord, my God, I'm thine."
