How I Have Longed

by Medical Mission Sisters

on Joy is Like the Rain (2021)

How I have longed to draw you to Myself
As when a hen covers her brood
But you went darting like chicks in a storm
How could you know that My wing was warm
How could you know My love pursued?

Come to Me, My little one
And you will be refreshed
And I will give you rest

You'll hear Me walking on the wings of the wind
See My warm breast in the setting sun
Night is but shadow of My wings wide-spread
My pinions preparing a bridal bed
When all your toil and tears are done

Come to Me, My little one
And you will be refreshed
And I will give you rest

Know that I hover at the tip of your heart
As a mother awaiting a son
Should a mother forget the child of her womb
The joy when a loved one enters the room
I'll not forget My chosen one

Come to Me, My little one
And you will be refreshed
And I will give you rest
