We long for Christ to come again
And rule in endless light.
An end to sorrow and to pain:
When Faith shall turn to Sight.
Christ shall restore the world he made,
Through His refining fire.
He shall return, with trumpet sound
And hymns of praise inspire.
The new Jerusalem descends:
Our promised home appears.
And with it comes our God and King,
Who’ll wipe away our tears.
The sun and moon shall shine no more.
We’ll need no other light,
But that of God and of the Lamb
In wond’rous glory bright.
All sin and evil swept away
Before Christ’s mighty sword.
For He shall rule in endless day,
Our great and living Lord.
So, come Lord Jesus, quickly come.
Your waiting people groan.
Yes, come Lord Jesus, quickly come
And rule upon the throne!
