Lyics

Come, O thou might-y Sav-ior,

We look for thine ap-pear-ing!

De-scend, we pray,

Thy love dis-play,

Our wait-ing spir-its cheering.



Come, clothed with glo-rious pow-er;

Let all thy saints a-dore thee,

And let thy word, 

The Spir-it's sword,

Sub-due thy foes be-fore thee.



May every heart with gladness,

Thine offered grace receiving,

Now cease from sin,

And, pure within,

Have a peace, in thee believing.



Then when thou com'st to judgment,

On flying clouds descending,

May we rejoice

When, at thy voice,

The solid earth is rending.
