Author: Walter B Gilbert 1829-1910 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16649 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Blessed Savior, quickly come Lyrics:
1 Blessed Savior, quickly come,
Gather Thine own Israel home;
Brought in grace to their own land,
Planted—by Thy mighty hand,
Then by Israel will be seen
What to them their God hath been;
Naught His promise can remove,
Naught can change His faithful love.
2 Countless years may roll away,
Yet His word can ne’er decay;
Every promise He has giv’n
Stands more sure than earth or Heav’n;
He His love on Abr’am set,
He His word can ne’er forget,
Soon shall Abr’am’s race, restored,
Prove how faithful is the Lord.
3 Then by foes no more oppressed,
Israel shall forever rest;
Then all war and strife shall cease,
Nations know the joy of peace;
Israel’s sway shall Gentiles own,
While the Lord on Zion’s throne
O’er His people, blessed again,
Shall Himself forever reign.
