william billings - richmond lyrics

Loading...

my beloved haste away
sick of love for thee i languish
fails my soul at thy delay
feels a dying lover’s anguish
quickly, jesus come
o make thy breast thy native home

every moment seems an age
’till thy presence shall relieve me
’till thy smiles my woes assuage
and thine absence no more grieve me:
quickly, jesus come
o make thy breast thy native home
great the force and power of love
whence springs all my strong desires;
i, thy presence, lord, to prove
burn, consumed, with inward fires:
quickly, jesus come
o make thy breast thy native home

honor, wealth, and ease i scorn
trifles, by the world approved
to superior joys i’m born
centering in my well+beloved:
quickly, jesus come
o make thy breast thy native home

o’er the spicy mountains fly
hart and roe, yea winds out+stripping;
whilst thou tarry, love, i die
sighing, longing, loving, weeping ;
quickly, jesus come
o make thy breast thy native home
