174 ~ Come, Lord, and Tarry Not
1
Come, Lord, and tarry not; Bring the longlookedfor day; O why these years of waiting here? O why this long delay?
2
Come, for creation groans, Impatient of Thy stay; Worn out by these long years of ill, These ages of delay.
3
Come, for the corn is ripe! Put in Thy sickle now; Reap the great harvest of the earth; Sower and reaper Thou.
4
Come, spoil the strong man's house, Bind him and cast him hence; Show Thyself stronger than the strong, Thyself Omnipotence.
5
Come, and begin Thy reign Of everlasting peace; Come, take the kingdom to Thyself, Great King of righteousness.
