Lyrics

Merciful Sav­ior, come and be my com­fort;
Vanish all id­ols in Thy ho­ly pre­sence;
Come and es­tab­lish in my heart Thy king­dom;
Come, O Lord Je­sus.

Come as the bride­groom to the bride be­lov­èd,
Come Thou to strength­en faith and love and pa­tience;
Be Thou a ve­ry pre­sent help in dan­ger;
Come, O Lord Je­sus.

Come in my plea­sure, come to me in sor­row,
Come in the ang­uished hour of dire temp­ta­tion,
Come and de­liv­er me from sin and ev­il,
Come, O Lord Je­sus.
