Hymnal: A Collection of Spiritual Songs and Hymns #XXXVI (1801) Lyrics: 1 Oh! how I have long'd for the coming of God, And sought him by praying and searching his word; With watching and fasting my soul was opprest, Nor would I give over 'till Jesus had bless'd. 2 The news of his mercy at length I did hear, According to promise he answer'd my prayer; And glory is open'd in floods on my soul, Salvation from Zion's beginning to roll. 3 The news of his mercy is spreading abroad, And sinners come crying and weeping to God; Their mourning and praying is heard very loud, And many's found favour in Jesus's blood. 4 Here're more my dear Saviour that falls at thy feet, Opprest by a burthen enormously great; Oh! raise me my Jesus to tell of thy love, And shout Hallelujah with angels above. 5 I'll sing and I'll shout, and I'll shout and I'll sing, O God make the nations in praises to ring; With loud acclamations of Jesus's love, And carry us all to the city above. 6 We'll wait for his chariot, it seems to draw near, O come my dear Saviour, let glory appear, We long to be singing and shouting above, With angels o'erwhelm'd in Jesus's love.
