Returning Redeemer


"So shall the congregation of the people compass Thee about: for their sakes therefore return Thou on high" (Psalm 7:7).  "I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches... And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.  And let him that heareth say, Come.  And let him that is athirst come.  And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely...  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.  Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:16-20). 

The day when Christ shall come again
Surrounded by His congregation,
Is not an "IF," but surely "WHEN"
He shall return with exaltation. 

The Lord Himself has testified,
Assuring us of His return,
And thus His Spirit and the bride
Proclaim His promise we discern. 

By every means, let us save some,
Compelling sinners to be saved.
The Spirit and the bride say "Come"
And drink the water they have craved. 

Returning Lord, Redeemer, Friend,
Our hearts are thrilled because we know
That what You promise has an end: 
Yes!  Come, Lord Jesus, even so!
