COME, Desire of nations, come! Hasten, Lord, the general doom! Hear the Spirit...

COME, Desire of nations, come! Hasten, Lord, the general doom! Hear the Spirit and the bride; Come, and take us to thy side.

Thou, who hast our place prepared, Make us meet for our reward; Then with all thy saints descend; Then our earthly trials end.

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

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

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

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