Long In Darkness We Have Waited
For The Shining Of The Light ;
Long Have Felt The Things We Hated
Sink Us Still In Deeper Night.
Blessed Jesus, Loving Saviour !
Tender, Faithful, Strong, And True,
Break The Fetters That Have Bound Us,
Make Us In Thyself Anew !
Now, At Last, The Light Appeareth,
Jesus Stands Upon The Shore ;
And With Tender Voice He Calleth,
Come To Me, And Sin No More !
Nothing Have We But Our Weakness,
Naught But Sorrow, Sin, And Care;
All Within Is Loathsome Vileness,
All Without Is Dark Despair.
All Our Talents We Have Wasted,
All Thy Laws Have Disobeyed ;
But Thy Goodness Now We’ve Tasted,
In Thy Robes We Stand Arrayed.
Thou Hast Saved Us Do Thou Keep Us,
Guide Us By Thine Eye Divine ;
Let The Holy Spirit Teach Us,
That Our Light May Ever Shine.
Blessed Jesus, Be Thou Near Us,
Give Us Of Thy Grace To-Day ;
While We’re Calling, Do Thou Hear Us,
Send Us Now Thy Peace, We Pray.
