LyicsLord Jesus! come, for here
Our path through wilds is laid,
We watch us for the day-spring near,
A-mid the break-ing shade-
A-mid the break-ing shade.
Lord Jesus! come; for hosts
Meet on the battle plain;
The patriot mourns, the tyrant boasts,
And tears are shed like rain.
Lord Jesus! come; for still
Vice shouts her maniac mirth;
The famished crave in vain their fill,
While teems the fruitful earth.
Hark! herald voices near,
Lead on thy happier day;
Come, Lord, and our hosannas hear;
We wait to strew thy way.
Come as in days of old,
With words of grace and power
Gather us all within thy fold,
And never leave us more.
