Revelation 22:17: The Spirit and the bride say, Come
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Tae church in her militant state
Is weary, and cannot forbear,
The saints in an agony wait
To see Him again in the air,
The Spirit invites, in the bride,
Her heavenly Lord to descend,
And place her enthroned at His side
In glory that never shall end.
3484. And let him that heareth say, Come.—xxit 17.
THE news of His coming I hear,
And join in the catholic cry,
O Jesus, in triumph appear,
Appear on the clouds of the sky!
Whom only I languish to love,
With fulness of majesty come,
And give me a mansion above,
And take to my heavenly home.
