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
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.
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.
