The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#826

826. Come, Desire of nations, come!

1 Come, Desire of nations, come!
Hasten, Lord, the general doom!
With thy holy train descend;
Then our earthly trials end.

2 Mindful of thy chosen race,
Shorten these vindictive days;
We for full redemption groan;
Hear us now, and save thine own.

3 Now destroy the man of sin;
Now thine ancient flock bring in!
Filled with righteousness divine,
Claim a ransomed world for thine.

4 Plant thy heavenly kingdom here;
Glorious in thy saints appear;
Speak the sacred number sealed;
Speak the mystery revealed.

5 Take to thee thy royal power;
Reign, when sin shall be no more;
Reign, when death no more shall be;
Reign to all eternity.
