O Savior, tear | O Savior, tear the heavens wide! | ||
come down from heaven to abide! | |||
tear | The gates of heaven tear away; | ||
break down where locks and bars hold sway! | |||
O | O God, in heav'nly dew pour down,, | ||
in dew, O Savior to us flow! | |||
O | O clouds, let fall and bring in rain | ||
we | a King o'er Jacob's house to reign! | ||
O earth, break out in ev'ry vale | |||
a carpet green on hill and dale, | |||
O earth, the sweetest flower bring forth. | |||
O Savior, from the earth spring forth! | |||
Where are You, Comforter divine, | |||
to whom all earth its hopes incline? | |||
O come, come down from heaven's hall | |||
and comfort us who on You call! | |||
O brightest Sun, O sweetest Star, | |||
we long to see You from afar! | |||
O Sun, ascend! Without Your light | |||
we all abide in darkest night. | |||
On earth we suffer pain and strife, | |||
and death appears the goal of life: | |||
but come and lead us by the hand | |||
from weeping to Your heav'nly land! | |||
