composer, tempo or expression is printed. Three staves (treble, second treble with the tune, bass); D major, 2/4.
Stanza 1 is printed between the staves, under the middle staff; stanzas 2–4 are printed as verse on p. 33.
The metre (not printed) is 8.7.8.7.4.7; the music sings the 5th line twice («All the sorrow, All the sorrow,»),
which is how stanza 1 is printed under the music (once at the foot of p. 32, again at the top of p. 33).

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.

2

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

3

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

4

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,
We shall have unmixed delight.
