How long? lyrics

As we bring our songs of love today Do you hear a sound more glorious? Like the mighty roar of ocean waves Many witnesses surround us It's a harmony of costly praise From the lips of those who suffer Of sighs and tears and martyrs' prayers Until this age is over. How long, Lord, till you come? How long till the earth Is filled with your song? How long until your justice Shines like the sun? How long, Lord, till you come? How long till the earth Is filled with your song? How long, how long? Lord, help us to live worthy of Our sisters and our brothers Who love you more than their own lives Who worship as they suffer To embrace the scandal of the cross Not ashamed to tell your story To count all earthly gain as loss To know you and your glory How long, Lord, till you come? How long till the earth Is filled with your song? How long until your justice Shines like the sun? How long, Lord till you come? How long till the whole world hears And the work is done Until at last we see you return? How long, Lord till you come How long till the earth Is filled with your song? How long, how long? How long, how long? How long, how long?
