My beloved Savior, I wait with longing to see You.
When I think of the love of my Beloved,
Oh, what joy fills my heart!

1.
You went to prepare a kingdom for me
At the Father’s right hand.
How long it has been since You went away—
I have waited for You with hope.
When will You come to take me
Into Your beautiful and joyful kingdom?
When will You come and fulfill my longing?

2.
You promised that You would come soon
To take Your church to heaven,
To give us an inheritance that never fades or becomes polluted,
And to have us dwell with You forever.
Why do You delay,
O Beloved, source of all my joy?

3.
When I think about You,
How can I ever describe Your beauty?
You are radiant, white and red,
The fairest and greatest among countless others.
You are wonderfully beautiful,
And worthy of all my love.
You alone are enough for me, forever.

4.
The more I love You,
The sweeter Your name becomes to me.
Your name is sweeter than honey,
Sweeter than the sweetest honeycomb.
You are my Savior, the One who redeemed me.
You belong to me,
And I belong to You.
