My heart breaks a thousand times
And then a thousand more
I wish that I could see my dream
And walk upon that shore.

Thou long afflicted by your sin
Come with me to sing this song
Gird your loins and lift your voice
The day is nigh; the night is long.


Though thou wish for brighter days
They come not at thy beck and call
And now we sing in darkest night
And under stars we beat the wall.
