Come, Thou Glorious Day of Promise

1. Come, thou glorious day of promise; Come and spread thy cheerful ray When the scattered sheep of Israel Shall no longer go astray; When hosannas, When hosannas With united voice they’ll cry.

2. Lord, how long wilt thou be angry? Shall thy wrath forever burn? Rise, redeem thine ancient people; Their transgressions from them turn; King of Israel, King of Israel, Come and set thy people free.

3. Oh, that soon thou wouldst to Jacob Thy enlivening Spirit send! Of their unbelief and mis’ry Make, O Lord, a speedy end. Lord, Messiah! Lord, Messiah! Prince of Peace o’er Israel reign.
