How long
Will You turn Your face away?
How long
Do You hear us when we pray?
On and on
Still we walk this pilgrim way
How long?
How long
'Til Your children find their rest?
How long
'Til You draw them to Your breast?
We go on
Holdin' to Your promises
How long?
'Til You wipe away the tears from every eye?
'Til we see our hope descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again
How long
'Til Your word will still the storm?
How long
'Til You bear Your mighty arm?
How we groan
Until You snatch us from the thorns
How long?
'Til You wipe away the tears from every eye?
'Til we see our hope descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again
How long?
Sweet the Dawn that ends the race
How long?
Weak our hearts, but strong our legs
Looking on
Great that cloud of witnesses
How long?
'Til You wipe away the tears from every eye?
'Til we see our hope descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again
Amen, Jesus, come
Amen, Jesus, come
Amen, Jesus, come
Amen, Jesus, come
