Then Come and Tarry Not

Verse 1

Thou camest once nor had a home Where Thou Thy head couldst lay, But we're expecting Thee to come A mighty Prince some day.

Chorus

Then come and tarry not, All creation 'waits the day; Then come and tarry not, All creation awaits the day.

Verse 2

Thou wast despised and lowly then, A teacher of the poor; But when Thou shalt appear again Who shall the hour endure?

Verse 3

Thou warest then a crown of thorns When suff'ring for our sin; But crown of crowns shall Thee adorn When Thou shalt come again.

Verse 4

They mock'd Thee with a purple robe, And with a reed did shame, But then shall all upon this globe Bow to Thy mighty name.
