324: LORD Jesus, come

324: LORD Jesus, come

by G. Jeckyll,

1 LORD Jesus, come,
Nor let us longer roam
Afar from Thee, and that bright place
Where we shall see Thee face to face;
Lord Jesus, come.

2 Lord Jesus, come,
Thine absence here we mourn;
No joy we know apart from Thee,
No sorrow in Thy presence see;
Lord Jesus, come.

3 Lord Jesus, come,
And claim us as Thine own;
With longing hearts the path we tread,
Which Thee to heavenly glory led;
Come, Saviour, come.

4 Lord Jesus, come,
And take Thy people home;
That all Thy flock, so scattered here,
With Thee in glory may appear;
Lord Jesus, come.
