Come, Lord Jesus, Pilgrim, Pray

Come

Lord Je­sus! pil­grim

pray

Incense of­fer day by day;

May the Lord in­spire this pray­er

In His mem­bers ev­ery­where—

Come and ga­ther all Thine own;

Come and take Thy pro­mised throne.

With de­sire our spir­its burn

For Thy glor­ious re­turn.

As we know when sum­mer’s near

So we know when Thou’lt ap­pear.

Come and ga­ther all Thine own;

Come and take Thy glor­ious throne.

Hear cre­ation’s plead­ing groan—

Earth’s sin-strick­en

cease­less moan.

O

Thou eve­r bless­èd King

Thou alone canst heal­ing bring.

Haste

Be­lov­èd! come again

Come in right­eous­ness to reign.
