Author: Horatius Bonar (1808-1889) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #217 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The church has waited long
Her absent Lord to see;
And still in loneliness she waits,
A friendless stranger she.
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?
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.
4 Come, Lord, and wipe away
The curse, the sin, the stain,
And make this blighted world of ours
Thine own fair world again. Topics: Jesus Christ Second Advent Tune Title: GARDEN CITY
