(Rev. 22:20.)

"Come, Lord Jesus, even now"-
Thus Thy waiting people say:
Center of their hopes art Thou;
To behold Thy face they pray.
Thy gracious promise now fulfil,
And stand again on Zion's hill.

"Even so, Lord Jesus," thus
All Thy faithful watchers cry:
In Thy love appear to us,
In Thy glory now draw nigh:
Regard this one sincere request
And make Thy presence manifest.

"Come, Lord Jesus,"-even so:
Let Thy servants hear Thy call,
For their spirits weary grow
As the shades around them fall:
"Lord Jesus, come" Thy servants say-
Let night give place to cloudless day.

" Come, Lord Jesus:" Nature needs
That which only Thou canst give:
With the Bride the Spirit pleads
For the One in whom we live:
Display at length the promised sign
And usher in the day divine.

"Come, Lord Jesus"-now appear:
End the reign of Israel's sin,
Cause their hearts Thy voice to hear,
Let their day of peace begin;
While we unto Thy promise cling
The House of Israel needs its King.

"Come, Lord Jesus "-take at length
Thine almighty power, and reign
In Thy majesty and strength.
Unto earth return again-
Yea, come! we pray with one accord,
And be by earth and heaven adored.
