Lamentations 3:26: Still I long for His returning
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Still I long for His returning,
Languish till His face appears.
Taste the blessedness of mourning.
Melted into gracious tears;
Still in quiet expectation,
Calmly for my Lord I grieve,
Sure at last, the great salvation,
Sure, the Saviour to receive.
