“Saviour, Haste.”

Saviour, haste! our souls are waiting,

1

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 peopleMakes thy peopleStrangers here, till thou dost come.

3

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.

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,When we see thee,We shall have unmixed delight.
