When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?

When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?

Oh come, my Lord most dear!

Come near, come nearer, nearer still,

I’m blest when Thou art near.

“When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?

I languish for the sight;

Ten thousand suns when Thou art hid,

Are shades instead of light.

“When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?

Until Thou dost appear,

I count each moment for a day,

Each minute for a year.”
