Come, Lord Jesus!

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
THOU Mighty One of Israel, Exalted King on high, Defender and Preserver still, Our Helper ever nigh,
We laud thee with our humble praise,— Our best and truest Friend,— And for thy guidance all our days Our grateful prayers ascend.
At this the threshold of the year We claim thy might and love, And know thy presence still more dear, All earthly gifts above.
Know as the years fly sure and fleet The coming draws apace Of Israel’s Mighty One, to greet His children face to face.
Speed on more swiftly in thy flight, O years that intervene, Ere faith shall wake to glorious sight Of Israel’s Hope unseen!
