802. Dear Saviour, here we fainting lie

1 Dear Saviour, here we fainting lie,
And long to see thy face;
Descend, O Jesus, from on high,
In mercy to our race.

2 How long shall that bright hour delay?
When will our Lord appear?
We long to see the glorious day
When Jesus will draw near.

3 We wait to see our Lord descend,
Arrayed in robes of light;
To Satan's kingdom put an end,
And claim his proper right.

4 We long to hear the trumpet sound,
And see the just arise;
We long to see our Saviour crowned,
And meet him in the skies.
