Come Lord Jesus the Light is dying Lyrics
Refrain: Come, Lord Jesus the light is dying, The night keeps crying: come, Lord Jesus.
1. Christ, come quickly,
By thine own eternal spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all sufficient merit,
There’s danger at the door,
poverty a-plenty,
Hearts gone wild with war,
There’s hunger in the city
And famine on the plain.
2. Want demands a hearing
In far too many lands
The sick go unattended,
Death deals a heavy hand
The dreams of men are empty.
Their cup of sorrow full.
3. The world awaits in darkness
A mighty burst of light.
To set the lame man leaping,
To give the blind man sight.
We have the prophets’ promise.
We await the Prince of peace.
4. The clouds shall send a Saviour
Like softly falling rain,
Yet mighty in his power,
To free us from our chains.
His shield will be compassion.
His weapon liberty.
