Verse 1
Christ is surely coming
Bringing his reward,
Alpha and Omega,
First and Last and Lord:
Root and stem of David,
Brilliant Morning Star:
Meet your Judge and Savior,
Nations near and far!
Verse 2
See the holy city!
There they enter in,
All by Christ made holy,
Washed from ev'ry sin:
Thirsty ones, desiring
All he loves to give,
Come for living water,
Freely drink, and live!
Verse 3
Grace be with God's people!
Praise his holy name!
Father, Son, and Spirit,
Evermore the same.
Hear the certain promise
From the eternal home:
"Surely I come quickly!"
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
