O Love I Languish At Thy Stay – Hymn Lyric
O love,
I languish at thy stay,
I pine for thee with lingering smart,
Weary, and faint through long delay,
When wilt thou come into my heart?
From sin and sorrow set me free,
And swallow up my soul in thee!
Come, O thou universal good,
Balm of the wounded conscience, come,
The hungry, dying spirit‘s food,
The weary, wandering pilgrim’s home,
Haven to take the shipwrecked in,
My everlasting rest from sin.
Be thou, O love, whatever I want,
Support my feebleness of mind,
Relieve the thirsty soul, the faint
Revive, illuminate the blind,
The mournful cheer, the drooping lead,
And heal the sick, and raise the dead.
Come, O my comfort and delight,
My strength and health, my shield and sun,
My boast, and confidence, and might,
My joy, my glory, and my crown,
My Gospel hope, my calling’s prize,
My tree of life, my paradise.
The secret of the Lord thou art,
The mystery so long unknown,
Christ in a pure and perfect heart,
The name inscribed in the white stone,
The life divine, the little leaven,
My precious pearl, my present heaven.

In the depths of my heart, a longing resides. It is a desire fueled by love, an ache that lingers and yearns for its fulfillment. Oh, how I pine for you, dear love, with an enduring pain that seems to stretch on endlessly.

When will you enter my heart and heal my soul?
Like a gentle breeze on a sweltering day, your love has the power to cool my spirit and alleviate the torment within. It is an all-encompassing goodness, a balm for the wounded conscience. Oh, how I crave your arrival, love! You are the sustenance my weary soul needs, the nourishment that can fill the void within me. As a wandering pilgrim in search of a home, I long for your embrace to guide me to a place of eternal serenity.
As the storm-tossed sailor seeks refuge in a safe harbor, I yearn to find solace in your presence. Oh, love, you are my everlasting rest from the turmoil of sin. Be everything I lack, support my feeble mind, and quench the thirst of my soul. Revive me, illuminate the darkness that blinds me. Lift me up, for I am burdened with sadness and leaden with despair. Heal my brokenness, love, and resurrect the parts of me that have become lifeless.
You, my dear love, are my comfort and delight. In your embrace, I find strength, health, and protection. You shield me from the harshness of the world and provide warmth like the sun’s gentle rays. I boast in your presence, for you are my confidence and might. You bring me joy and glory, crowning me with an everlasting love that surpasses all earthly treasures. In you, I find the hope that the Gospel promises, a prize worth pursuing.
