How long, O Lord, until you hear

Hymn – How long, 0 Lord, until you hear

How long, 0 Lord, until you hear
the Church’s cry of pain?
Our voices fail, our strength grows weak
are all our dreams in vain?
Yet still we search for shafts of hope
for rumours of new birth,
we strain for heaven’s answer
to our anguish here on earth.

How long, 0 Church, until you learn
that death must be the sign?
How long until that call is heard
and recognised as mine?
Yet still I search for shafts of hope...
