How long, O Lord, how long?
How long, O Lord, how long?
How long? How long?
How long, O Lord?
How long? How long?
How long, O Lord, how long?
Holy, and perfect and good.
E'er Thou on the dwellers on earth,
Rise and avenge our blood!
Slain for Thy word were we,
Slain both with fire and sword!
Torn and devoured by beasts of prey,
Torn and devoured by beasts of prey.
All for Thy glory, all for Thy glory,
all for Thy glory, O Lord.
All for Thy glory, all for Thy glory,
all for Thy glory, O Lord.
Rest for a season, your white robes wear;
Rest for a season, judgment is near;
Others are coming just as you came,
Slain for the Word of God and His name.
Slain for the Word of God and His name.
Holy! Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Holy! Holy! Holy!
Both just and merciful, O Lord, art Thou;
Both just and merciful, O Lord, art Thou;
Both just and merciful, O Lord, art Thou.
Lord, we adore Thee,
Happy before Thee, Patiently waiting;
Yet we implore Thee,
Hasten the day when the nations shall bow,
day when the nations shall bow.
O Lord, how long? How long? O Lord, how long?
