Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Christ come quickly, there's danger at the door,
poverty aplenty, hearts gone wild with war.
There's hunger in the city and famine on the plain.
VERSE 2
Want demands a hearing in far too many lands.
The sick go unattended, death deals a heavy hand.
Their dreams are often empty, their cup of sorrow full.
VERSE 3
World awaits in darkness a mighty burst of light,
to set the lame one leaping, to give the blind one sight.
We have the prophet's promise we await the Prince of Peace.
VERSE 4
Clouds shall send a Saviour like softly falling rain,
yet mighty in his power, to free us from our chains.
His shield will be compassion, his weapon liberty.
CHORUS
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying, the night keeps crying.
Come Lord Jesus.
