1 Come Lord, and tarry not;
Bring the long-looked-for day;
A heart that always feels Thy blood
So freely shed for me!

2 Come, for Thy saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh:
Where only Christ is heard to speak
Where Jesus reigns alone;

3 Come, for creation groans,
Impatient of Thy stay,
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within;

4 A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine!

5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above,
Write Thy new Name upon my heart,
Thy new, best Name of Love.

AMEN.
