Come, Jesus, Come! by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
1. Come, Jesus, come!
And bring your people comfort;
grant us the peace that only you can give.
Open the gates of heav'n and send your Spirit
to show the way, and in our hearts to live.
2. Make wars to cease.
Let nations dwell together.
Help us to love, as we ourselves are loved.
Forgive our sins; forget the ways we fail you;
by your free grace send pardon from above.

About Come, Jesus, Come!
The words of Come, Jesus, Come! express a profound yearning for peace and spiritual renewal. This SATB setting of an English text invites listeners to contemplate the advent of Christ, seeking comfort and forgiveness. The lyrics plead for an end to conflict and a deepening of love, asking Jesus to send his Spirit to guide and dwell within believers. The music would likely reflect the earnest supplication of the text, offering solace and hope. This sacred hymn is drawn from a larger set of Advent paraphrases, capturing the anticipation and preparation inherent in the season. It is a moving call for divine intervention and grace.
