Lord, How Long Dear Bridegroom
Verse 1
Lord, how long, dear Bridegroom,
'Til You come, Lord, how soon?
Don't delay for that coming day!
Grant me, Lord, to be filled
With You, Lord, every day.
Dearest Lord, take me all the way.
chorus
Come, Lord Jesus,
Please come, dear Bridegroom!
Precious One, come soon, come soon.
Lord, consume me!
O Lord, don't let me stray,
Faithful to You all the way.
Verse 2
Lord, make home in all my heart,
In my secret, deepest parts
Hidden, Lord, and reserved for You.
You would be preeminent
In all things and all events,
Possessed by Thee to that extent.
Verse 3
In my prayer and deepest plea,
In my spirit always be
Saturated and soaked with Thee.
This would be my life daily –
Every hour expecting Thee.
This I pray, Lord, desperately!
Verse 4
The universe, in it we see,
In the sweetest touch of Thee,
You're my choice and my destiny.
Lord, whate'er the price may be,
Lord, Amen, let it be!
Oh, my Love, please come back quickly!
Verse 5
In Your love I am constrained.
What's within, I can't contain.
Lord, I can't anymore restrain.
In Your love, I'll pour on Thee,
And the church, Your bride to be,
This my choice voluntarily.
