Meter 8.7.8.7.8.7 Bibo Jesu
  1. Behold see yonder horizon;
    Behold the morning sunrise,
    Wake from thy deep sleep, thou my heart
    Arise and be thou watchful;
    Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour
    Coming again to the earth.

  2. It's long I've been expecting Thee
    My weary heart long doth wait
    The world has no more joy for me
    E'er its light has become dark
    Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour,
    When will Thou come back.

  3. My salvation doth draw me nearer
    The dark night is almost gone,
    Let me be in humble estate
    Let me keep watching for Thee.
    Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour,
    Until I Thy face behold.

  4. Let my lamp now keep on burning
    That I may not stray again,
    Just to expect Thy coming back
    And to take me to Thy home
    Blessed Saviour, blessed Saviour,
    I am waiting, quickly come. Amen.
