I have longed for Thy sal¤va¤tion,
Oh, what long¤ings in my soul.
Has¤ten, Lord, Thy new cre¤a¤tion,
Sanc¤ti¤fy and make me whole.

I have longed for Thy sal¤va¤tion,
All my long¤ing soul would see
Thy great power a¤mid temp¤ta¤tion,
To im¤part in¤teg¤ri¤ty.

I have longed for Thy sal¤va¤tion,
Long¤ing that I may ob¤tain
Power to yield in res¤ig¤na¤tion,
To my Sav¤iour’s right¤eous reign.

I have longed for Thy sal¤va¤tion,
Freed from all that would de¤file,
Full, en¤tire the sep¤a¤ra¤tion
Of the pre¤cious from the vile.

I have longed for Thy sal¤va¤tion,
Noth¤ing else can sat¤is¤fy,
I have longed with ex¤pec¤ta¤tion,
Christ, my Lord, to glo¤ri¤fy.
