(907) The Church Longing for Christ.

Jesus! thy church, with longing eyes

For thine expected coming waits;

When will the promised light arise,

And glory beam from Zion's gates?

2 E'en now when tempests round us fall,

And wintry clouds o'ercast the sky,

Thy words with pleasure we recall,

And deem that our redemption's nigh.
