Long have we sought eternal life
Years have we waited in sin and strife;
In darkness groped
sad misery’s mate
How long? how long must we wait?
The laborers still are few;
Our Lord has need of you
You know the love of God manifold
Ages have brought you their grace untold;
Peace and a hope
no fear of fate.
The agèd faint and long for the Friend
Dark shadows gathering bring the end;
Fades now the light
’tis growing late.
