Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying;
the night keeps crying
Come, Lord Jesus.
VERSE 1
Christ come quickly there's danger at the door,
poverty a plenty hearts gone wild with war.
There's hunger in the city and famine on the plain.
Come Lord Jesus.
VERSE 2
Want demands a hearing in far too many lands;
the sick go unattended, death deals a heavy hand.
The dreams of men are empty their cup of sorrow full.
Come Lord Jesus.
VERSE 3
The world awaits in darkness a mighty burst of light;
to set the lame man leaping, to give the blind man sight.
We have the prophet's promise, we await the prince of peace.
Come Lord Jesus.
VERSE 4
The clouds shall send a saviour like softly falling rain,
yet mighty in his power to free us from our chains.
His shield will be compassion, His weapon liberty.
Come Lord Jesus.
