\nHer absent Lord to see;
\nAnd still in loneliness she waits,
\nA friendless stranger she.<\/p>\n

\nHow long, O Lord our God,
\nHoly and true and good,
\nWilt Thou not judge Thy suffering church,
\nHer sighs and tears and blood?<\/p>\n

\nWe long to hear Thy voice,
\nTo see Thee face to face,
\nTo share Thy crown and glory then,
\nAs now we share Thy grace.<\/p>\n

\nCome, Lord, and wipe away
\nThe curse, the sin, the stain,
\nAnd make this blighted world of ours
\nThine own fair world again.<\/p>\n
