Words

Saviour, haste ! our souls are waiting,For the long expected day,When, new heavens and earth creating,Thou shalt banish grief away ;All the sorrow,All the sorrow,Caused by sin and Satan's sway.

Haste, O hasten thine appearing,Take thy mourning people home:'Tis this hope our spirits cheering,While we in the desert roam,Makes thy peopleMakes thy peopleStrangers here, till thou dost come.

Lord, how long shall the creationGroan and travail sore in pain;Waiting for its sure salvation,When thou shalt in glory reign,And like Eden,And like Eden,This sad earth shall bloom again.

Reign, O reign Almighty Saviour!Heaven and earth in one unite;Make it known, that in thy favor,There alone is life and light;When we see thee,When we see thee,We shall have unmixed delight.
