Come, Thou Conqueror of the Nations

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1759
Composer: William Monk, 1871

Come

Thou con­quer­or of the na­tions

Now on Thy white horse ap­pear;

Earthquakes

fa­mines

de­so­la­tions

Signify Thy king­dom near:

True and faith­ful!

Stablish Thy do­min­ion here.

Thine the king­dom

pow­er

and glo­ry;

Thine the ran­somed na­tions are.

Let the hea­then fall be­fore Thee

Let the isles Thy pow­er de­clare.

Judge and con­quer

All man­kind in right­eous war.

Thee let all man­kind ad­mire

Object of our joy and dread!

Flame Thine eyes with heav’n­ly fire

Many crowns up­on Thy head.

But Thine es­sence

None

ex­cept Thy­self

can read.

Yet we know our me­di­at­or

By the Fa­ther’s grace be­stowed;

Meanly clothed in hu­man na­ture

Thee we call the Word of God.

Flesh Thy gar­ment

Dipped in Thy own sacr­ed blood.

Captain

God of our sal­va­tion

Thou who hast the wine press trod

Borne the Al­mig­hty’s in­dig­na­tion

Quenched the fierc­est wrath of God

Take the king­dom

Claim the purc­hase of Thy blood.

On Thy thigh and cloth­ing writ­ten

Show the world Thy heav’n­ly name

That

with lov­ing won­der smit­ten

All may glo­ri­fy the Lamb.

All ad­ore Thee

All the Lord of hosts pro­claim.

Honor

glo­ry

and sal­va­tion

To the Lord our God we give.

Power

and end­less ad­or­ation

Thou art wor­thy to re­ceive.

Reign tri­umph­ant

King of kings

for­ev­er live!
