217- The Church Has Waited Long

Jesus Christ: Second Advent

1

  • The church has waited long
  • Her absent Lord to see;
  • And still in loneliness she waits,
  • A friendless stranger she.

2

  • How long, O Lord our God,
  • Holy and true and good,
  • Wilt Thou not judge Thy suffering church,
  • Her sighs and tears and blood?

3

  • We long to hear Thy voice,
  • To see Thee face to face,
  • To share Thy crown and glory then,
  • As now we share Thy grace.

4

  • Come, Lord, and wipe away
  • The curse, the sin, the stain,
  • And make this blighted world of ours
  • Thine own fair world again.
