Hasten, Lord, the promised hour

Hasten, Lord, the promised hour

Author: Josiah Conder
Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN
Published in 12 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Hasten, Lord, the promised hour;
Come in glory, come in power;
Still thy foes are unsubdued;
Nature sighs to be renewed.

2 Time has nearly reached its sum;
All things wait for thee to come;
Jesus, whom all worlds adore,
Come, and reign forevermore.
