    Lyrics:

    Come, Lord Jesus
    Thou who bought us with thy blood and with thy pain
    Thou who suffered to redeem us
    Come unto thine own to reign
    Make an end of war among us
    Bid all strife amid us cease
    Come, Lord Jesus,
    Come, and welcome, Prince of Peace

    Come, Lord Jesus
    Thou hast taught us of thy kingdom that shall be
    When our sorrows shall be vanquished
    Thus in hope we yearn for thee
    Fill our longing with thy presence
    Wipe away our every tear
    Come, Lord Jesus,
    Answer all our hearts' desire

    Come, Lord Jesus
    Thou who loved us with a love that hath no end
    Come release us from the weakness and the griefs of mortal men
    Bid the blind behold thy glory
    Bid the lame in strength arise
    Bid the grave yield up our lost ones unto never-ending life

    Come, Lord Jesus
    To thy people who await the promised hour
    Come amid the clouds of heaven
    In thy majesty and power
    We shall bow before thee gladly
    And with one accord shall sing
    Blessed Jesus, thou art Lord and God and King!
