Hymn 190
6 6 6 6 8 8
1. Come, O! thou King of Kings!
We've waited long for thee,
With healing in thy wings,
To set thy people free;
Come, thou desire of nations, come
Let Israel now be gathered home.

2. Come, make an end of sin,
And cleanse the earth by fire,
And righteousness bring in,
That saints may tune the lyre,
With songs of joy in happier strains,
To welcome in thy peaceful reign.

3. Hosannahs now shall sound
From all the ransomed throng,
And glory echo round,
A new triumphal song;
The wide expanse of heaven fill,
With anthems sweet from Zion's hill.

4. Hail! Prince of Life and Peace,
Thrice welcome to thy throne,
While all the chosen race,
Their Lord and Saviour own; -
The heathen nations bow the knee,
And every tongue confess to thee.
