Lyrics
-
1. Come, O thou King of Kings!We've waited long for thee,With healing in thy wings,To set thy people free.Come, thou desire of nations, come;Let Israel now be gathered home.
-
2. Come, make an end to sin,And cleanse the earth by fire,And righteousness bring in,That Saints may tune the lyreWith songs of joy, a happier strain,To welcome in thy peaceful reign.
-
3. Hosannas now shall soundFrom all the ransomed throng,And glory echo roundA new triumphal song;The wide expanse of heaven fillWith anthems sweet from Zion's hill.
-
4. Hail! Prince of life and peace!Thrice welcome to thy throne!While all the chosen raceTheir Lord and Savior own,The heathen nations bow the knee,And ev'ry tongue sounds praise to thee.
