Jesus! our fainting spirits cry,
When wilt thou show thy face?
Oh! when our longings satisfy,
And fill us with thy grace?
We, sinners, Lord, with earnest heart
With sighs, and prayers, and tears,
To thee our inmost cares impart,
Our burdens and our fears.
The sovereign grace can give relief,
Thou Source of peace and light!
Dispel the gloomy cloud of grief,
And make our darkness bright.
Around thy Father's throne on high,
All heaven the glory sings;
And earth, for which thou camest to die,
Loud with thy praises rings.
Dear Lord! to thee our prayers ascend;
Our eyes thy face would see:
Oh! let our weary wanderings end,
Our spirits rest in thee!
