Bring the long-looked for day!

These ages of delay?

Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?

The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"

With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.

Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.

Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
