Lord how long will Thou tarry? Till Thou will come again; We all are almost fainting As we watch Thy coming; Lord how long will Thou tarry? To keep us awaiting thee Many do not have believe, That Thou will come again.
Lord how long will Thou tarry? Till Thou shall hail on us Until we who expect thee, Shall see Thee rejoicing, Awake Thou sleeping virgin, Go proclaim His coming, That they who’ve slept already, May wake to welcome Him.
Arise take Thy lamp light it, Wear thy holy garment; Prepare thyself to meet Him For He shall soon arrive: Lord how long will Thou tarry? Till Thou cometh again? That we may not get tired, Till we shall meet with Thee. Amen.
