Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Lord, How Long? (spiritual)
Or this:
How long, dear Saviour, O how long Shall this bright hour delay? Fly swift around ye wheels of time And bring the promised day.
Lo what a glorious sight appears To our believing eyes The earth and eas are passed away And the rolling skies.
From the third heaven where god resides That holy happy place The Nnew Jerusalem comes down Adorned with shining grace.
Attending angels shout for joy, And the bright angels sing Mortals behold the sacred seat Of our descending king.
His own soft hand shall wipe the tears From every weeping eye And pains and groans and griefs and fears And death itself shall die.
Tune: Northfield (Jeremiah Ingalls - I think) Words: Isaac Watts
No 155 in some Sacred Harp book whose title I failed to transcribe in the days when I was not so careful with attribution.
