Jesus Christ is the joy and happiness of all who look forward to his coming. Let us call upon him and say:
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
In joy, we wait for your coming;
— come, Lord Jesus.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
Before time began, you shared life with the Father;
— come now and save us.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You created the world and all who live in it;
— come to redeem the work of your hands.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You did not hesitate to become man, subject to death;
— come to free us from the power of death.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You came to give us life to the full;
— come and give us your unending life.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You desire all people to live in love in your kingdom;
— come and bring together those who long to see you face to face.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
