The Porter’s Gate
How Long?
[Verse 1]
How long, will You turn Your face away?
How long, do You hear us when we pray?
On and on, still we walk this pilgrim way
How long?

[Verse 2]
How long, till your children find their rest?
How long, till you draw them to Your breast?
We go on, holding to your promises
How long?

[Chorus]
Till You wipe away the tears from every eye
Till we see our home descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again

[Verse 3]
How long, till Your word will still the storm?
How long, till You bear your mighty arm?
How we groan, till You snatch us from the thorns
How long?

[Chorus]
Till You wipe away the tears from every eye
Till we see our home descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again
[Outro]
Amen, Jesus, Come!
Amen, Jesus, Come!
Amen, Jesus, Come!
Amen, Jesus, Come!
Amen, Jesus, Come!
