To You, O Lord, we lift our voice;
We call from this world of pain.
You left us with Your bless­ing, Lord,
And pro­mised to come again.
You pro­mised to come again.

The years have fled, the ag­es flown
And still we wait and pray.
Your pro­mise, Lord, our on­ly hope,
Your bless­ing our on­ly stay.
Your bless­ing our on­ly stay.

Your child­ren, Lord, we still re­main,
And long to be with You.
Reward Your child­ren’s pa­tience, Lord:
Come back for Your peo­ple soon!
Come back for Your peo­ple soon!
