Come, thou glorious day of promise

Verse 1

Come, thou glorious day of promise; Come and spread thy cheerful ray, When the scattered sheep of Israel Shall no longer go astray, When hosannas, When hosannas With united voice they’ll cry.

Verse 2

Lord, how long wilt thou be angry? Shall thy wrath forever burn? Rise, redeem thine ancient people; Their transgressions from them turn. King of Israel, King of Israel, Come and set thy people free.

Verse 3

Oh, that soon thou wouldst to Jacob Thy enliv’ning Spirit send! Of their unbelief and misery Make, O Lord, a speedy end. Lord, Messiah! Lord, Messiah! Prince of Peace o’er Israel reign.
