Even So, Come

By M. W. C.

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Rev. 22:20.
COME, Lord Jesus, quickly come; All creation groans for thee, Sin abounds from sea to sea, Millions grope in misery; Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; Death and darkness everywhere, Satan’s legions fill the air, E’en elect ones to ensnare; Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; Burdens, heartaches, tears, and strife, Shedding blood, and taking life, Through the whole of earth are rife; Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; Erring daughters throng the way, Dearest sons from homes astray, Weeping mothers watch and pray; Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; Helpless millions cry for bread, Robbed by ruling ones for greed, Heeding not though loud they plead; Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; Men blaspheme thy holy name, Live in wanton sin and shame, Mock the words, “He’ll come again;” Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come; Come and claim thy ready bride, Call her safely to thy side, E’er thy wrath this world betide; Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
—M. W. C., in The Vanguard.
