Jesus, how we long for Thee!
Come, Thou, be with us still.
Thou, our Bridegroom and Lover,
Only, this vessel can fill.
Yes, Lord, Thou, Lord,
Only, this vessel can fill.
Come, Thou, be with us still.
Thou, our Bridegroom and Lover,
Only, this vessel can fill.
Yes, Lord, Thou, Lord,
Only, this vessel can fill.

Take me, Best Love, O take me!
Thy compassion now sway
My heart, will, and emotion;
Burn all the idols away.
Burn, burn, burn, burn,
Burn all the idols away.
Thy compassion now sway
My heart, will, and emotion;
Burn all the idols away.
Burn, burn, burn, burn,
Burn all the idols away.

Guard me in Thine affection;
Keep me simple and chaste.
None beside Thee in heaven,
None on earth long we to taste.
Jesus only! None on earth long we to taste.
Keep me simple and chaste.
None beside Thee in heaven,
None on earth long we to taste.
Jesus only! None on earth long we to taste.

Time takes moment by moment
Our hearts closer each day
To Thee; Lord, we beseech Thee:
Quickly come, even today!
Amen, Jesus, quickly come, even today!
Our hearts closer each day
To Thee; Lord, we beseech Thee:
Quickly come, even today!
Amen, Jesus, quickly come, even today!
