Today while we were singing this hymn, we touched the spirit of the author. It is a spirit unmatched in power in all the ages. The word presence is parousia in Greek. It refers to the Lord's descending, His manifestation. Although the Lord has not physically come again, we can bring His presence to our midst. This presence will bind us and restrict us; we will not dare be slothful. May all our walk and work be constrained and bound by His presence, and may we not deviate from this pathway in any way.

O Lord Jesus, we love You! We longed for Your return! We want to see You face to face! Lord, hasten Your coming back! Prepare Your Bride! O King of glory come in! Come Lord Jesus! Come quickly come!

May He always be so near and dear to us that we live expecting His coming and long to see His glorious face. Oh do come quickly Lord Jesus. Amen.
