Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 155 hymnals First Line: Come, Lord, and tarry not! Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not!
Bring the long-looked-for day;
Oh, why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for thy saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, Come!
Dost thou not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans,
Impatient of thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.
4 Come, and make all things new,
Build up this ruined earth,
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin thy reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to thyself,
Great King of Righteousness! Topics: Coming Again; Church Revival of; Millennium; Church Revival of; Millennium Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
