The Second coming

Come! Come! Longed for Messiah   
A world in turmoil anxiously awaits 
Thy coming.   
It’s a dark, dark, world   
Enveloped in gloom   
Groping in the darkness.   
Awaiting thy coming   
To dispel the gloom   
To scatter the light.   
To light up sympathetic understanding   
To illuminate the mind.   
A world torn by conflict   
Awaits in eager expectation   
A second coming   
To heal the world   
To restore anew the message   
“Peace on earth and goodwill towards men”
