Come, Saviour, by Thy promise bound

Verse 1
Come, Saviour, by thy promise bound,
In every messenger,
And let our synagogues resound
With news of glory near,
Glory in grace on earth begun,
Which every soul may gain,
And humbled, at thy side sit down,
And in thy patience reign.

Verse 2
Thy peace into my troubled soul,
Thy mighty joy bring in,
Thy righteous nature, to controul
And finish all my sin;
The power of thy triumphant love
To me, dear Lord, extend,
And bring the kingdom from above
Which never more shall end.
