Come Lord Jesus

All Things New Horatius Bonar, 1846

Come Lord, and tarry not; bring the long looked for day;
O why these years of waiting here, these ages of delay.
Come for Thy saints still wait; daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say "come":
Dost Thought not hear the cry?

O come and make all things new; come and make all things new.
O come and make all things new.
Build up this ruined earth; come and make all things new.

Come for creations groans, impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of woe, these ages of delay.
Come for love waxes cold, its steps are faint and slow;
Faith now is lost in unbelief hope's lamp burns dim and low.

O come and make all things new; come and make all things new.
O come and make all things new.
Build up this ruined earth; come and make all things new.
