260. Lord Jesus, come, and take Thy rightful

1 Lord Jesus, come,
And take Thy rightful place
As Son of Man, of all the theme!
Come, Lord, to reign o'er all supreme,
Lord Jesus, come!

2 Lord Jesus, come!
The Man of sorrows once,
The Man of patience waiting now--
The Man of joy, forever, Thou,
Come, Saviour, come!

3 Lord Jesus, come!
Crowned with Thy many crowns--
The Crucified, the Lamb once slain,
To wash away sin's crimson stain,
Lord Jesus, come!

4 Lord Jesus, come,
And take Thy Father's gift--
The people by Thy cross made Thine,
The trophy of Thy love divine!
Lord Jesus, come!

5 Lord Jesus, come,
That, lost in Thee, our souls
May bow and worship and adore,
In Thy blest presence evermore!
Lord Jesus, come!

6 Lord Jesus, come,
And let Thy glory shine,
And quickly these changed bodies may
Each one reflect a living ray.
Lord Jesus, come!

7 Lord Jesus, come!
Let ev'ry knee bown down,
And ev'ry tongue to Thee confess,
The Lord of all come forth to bless,
Lord Jesus, come!

8 Spirit and Bride,
With longing voice, say, "Come;"
Yea, Lord, Thy word from that bright home
Is, "Surely, I will quickly come!"
E'en so, Lord, come.
