Haste the glorious, dreadful Day,
When with angels Thou shalt come, And Thy people gather home.
“Come, Lord Jesus!” in the air,

every tomb Open, Bid the dead to come
Stand before Thy great white throne, Give account for all deeds done.
“Come, Lord Jesus!”
On Thy right, Set the children of the light;
Set the sons of sin, bereft Of Thy mercy, to the left!
3. ”Come, Lord Jesus!”Shepherd good,
Separate the flock of God
For Thine own eternal fold, In the City paved with gold.
“Come, Lord Jesus!” Thy decree
Now proclaim,“Depart from Me,
All ye sinners doing ill --- Enter now the flames of Hell!”
4. “Come, Lord Jesus!” This we pray

“Come Lord Jesus!” Every knee
At Thy Name shall bow to Thee:
Every tongue shall Thee confess, And Thy Father’s glory bless.

Stands the once-slain, risen Lamb,
With the seven-fold Spirit true, Reigning, making all things new.

And the Spirit, Three in One,
Hallelujahs loud we raise: Riches, honour, blessing, praise!
This hymn is sung to the tune of
