Mark that pilgrim lowly bending

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1140 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Mark that pilgrim lowly bending, At the shrine of prayer ascending, Praise and sighs together blending From his lips in mournful strain; Glowing with sincere contrition, And with childlike, blest submission, Ever riseth this petition: "Jesus, come, O come to reign." 2 List again; the low earth sigheth, And the blood of martyrs crieth From its bosom, where there lieth Millions upon millions slain: "Lord, how long ere, thy word given, All the wicked shall be driven From the earth by bolts of heaven? Jesus, come, O come to reign." 3 Kingdoms now are reeling, falling; Nations lie in woe appalling, On their sages vainly calling All these wonders to explain; While the slain around are lying, God's own little flock are sighing, And in secret places crying, "Jesus, come, O come to reign." 4 Here the wicked live securely, Of to-morrow boasting surely, While from those who're walking purely, They extort dishonest gain: Yea, the meek are burdened, driven; Want and care to them are given; But they lift the cry to heaven, "Jesus, come, O come to reign." 5 Christian, cheer thee; land is nearing; Still be hopeful, nothing fearing; Soon, in majesty appearing, You'll behold the Lamb once slain: O how joyful then to hear him, While all nations shall revere him, Saying to his flock who fear him, "I have come on earth to reign!"
