English Lyrics
Verse 1
The church has waited long Her absent Lord to see; And still in loneliness she waits, A friendless stranger she.
Verse 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?
Verse 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.
Verse 4
Come, Lord, and wipe away The curse, the sin, the stain, And make this blighted world of ours Thine own fair world again.
