Long in darkness we have waited
For the shining of the light
Long have felt the things we hated
Sink us still in deeper night
Blessèd Jesus loving Savior
Tender faithful strong and true
Break the fetters that have bound us
Make us in Thyself anew
2
Now at last the Light appeareth
Jesus stands upon the shore
And with tender voice He calleth
Come to Me and sin no more
Blessèd Jesus loving Savior
Tender faithful strong and true
Break the fetters that have bound us
Make us in Thyself anew
3
Nothing have we but our weakness
Naught but sorrow sin and care
All within is loathsome vileness
All without is dark despair
Blessèd Jesus loving Savior
Tender faithful strong and true
Break the fetters that have bound us
Make us in Thyself anew
4
All our talents we have wasted
All Thy laws have disobeyed
But Thy goodness now we’ve tasted
In Thy robes we stand arrayed
Blessèd Jesus loving Savior
Tender faithful strong and true
Break the fetters that have bound us
Make us in Thyself anew
5
Thou hast saved us do Thou keep us
Guide us by Thine eye divine
Let the Holy Spirit teach us
That our light may ever shine
Blessèd Jesus loving Savior
Tender faithful strong and true
Break the fetters that have bound us
Make us in Thyself anew
