Okay, maybe this question is more appropriate for an archaic English grammar sub, but some of y'all here will at least know the text.

"We proclaim Thy death, O Lord, and profess Thy Resurrection until Thou come again."

Am I crazy for thinking this should be rendered "comest" or "com'st"? Archaic second person singular verbs end in -t? And if not, why not? It sounds weird to my ear as written and makes me grumble internally at every Mass.

(Context - OCSP member by sacraments of initiation, raised non-Anglican protestant. My parish used to always use "O Savio(u)r of the World..." as the acclamation and now always uses the archaified NO response.)
