Psalms ‎#90d

90d. Breathing after Heaven

1 Return, O God of love, return;
Earth is a tiresome place;
How long shall we, thy children, mourn
Our absence from thy face?

2 Let heav'n succeed our painful years,
Let sin and sorrow cease,
And in proportion to our tears
So make our joys increase.

3 Thy wonders to thy servants show,
Make thy own work complete;
Then shall our souls thy glory know,
And own thy love was great.

4 Then shall we shine before thy throne
In all thy beauty Lord;
And the poor service we have done
Meet a divine reward.
