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.
VERSE 2
What 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.
VERSE 3
The world awaits in darkness a mighty burst of light; to set the lame man leaping
give the blind man sight. We have the prophet's promise we'await the prince of peace.
VERSE 4
The clouds shall send a saviour like softly falling rain yet mighty in is power
free us from our chains, His shield will be compassion, His weapon liberty.
