long­ing

Dear Sav­ior, I’m long­ing for home.
Dear Sav­ior, I’m long­ing for home.
Stealing thro’ the op­en door,
I am long­ing to hear it once more,
Those heav’n­ly ech­oes again.
Those heav’n­ly ech­oes again.
Secure from ev­ery blight;
All might pass away.
Hungry to­day for the liv­ing word,
I’m long­ing to meet them,
I’m long­ing to meet them,
I will pour wa­ter on him that is thirs­ty,
Something the world can­not take away?
For a drink from some clear spring,
For oth­ers to do?
My bro­ther?
Its clear and gen­tle rays,
My bro­ther?
Our Sav­ior has plea­sures to give;
For the lights along the shore.
