HYMN Lyrics Text: Christ Come Quickly | Advent Song

1. Christ come quickly,

there’s danger at the door

Poverty aplenty,

hearts gone wild with war,

There’s hunger in the city

and famine on the plain.

Come Lord Jesus,

the light is dying

The night keeps crying

Come, Lord Jesus

2. Want demands a hearing

in far too many lands.

The sick go unattended,

death deals a heavy hand

The dreams of men are empty

their cup of sorrow full.

3. The world awaits in darkness,

a mighty burst of light,

to set the lame man leaping

to give the blind man sight.

We have the prophet’s promise

we await the prince of peace,
