Lyrics

Come, Lord Je­sus! O come quick­ly!
This our yearn­ing cry.
Come, Thou Al­pha and Ome­ga
With the clouds on high;
For Thy wait­ing Church is rea­dy,
And her robes are white;
Come, Lord Je­sus, O come quick­ly!
Be it noon or night.

Refrain

We are rea­dy, we are wait­ing,
With our lamps all trimmed and burn­ing,
With our gar­ments white;
We are rea­dy, we are wait­ing,
Come, Lord Je­sus, O come quick­ly,
Be it noon or night.

Come, Thou Lamb of God for sin­ners
Slain on Calv’ry’s cross;
Come and take Thy wea­ry pil­grims
From this world of dross;
Come and sanc­ti­fy Thy peo­ple,
Fit them for the crown;
Come, Lord Je­sus, O come quick­ly!
Come and claim Thy own.

Refrain

We with ea­ger eyes are watch­ing
For the crown­ing day,
When the King shall come to catch His
Waiting bride away;
We are rea­dy, we are wait­ing,
And our lamps are bright,
Should He come this ve­ry mo­ment,
Should He come to­night.

Refrain
