Soon!

To You, O Lord, we lift our voice;
We call from this world of pain.
You left us with Your blessing, Lord,
And promised to come again.
You promised to come again.

The years have fled, the ages flown
And still we wait and pray.
Your promise, Lord, our only hope,
Your blessing our only stay.
Your blessing our only stay.

Your children, Lord, we still remain,
And long to be with You.
Reward Your children’s patience, Lord:
Come back for Your people soon!
Come back for Your people soon!

No clear attribution in the provided text or common hymnals. The modern language, repetitive structure, and contemporary phrasing suggest a 20th-century or later praise chorus rather than a traditional hymn by a known author such as Fanny Crosby, Charles Wesley, or similar. Possibly from a revival, camp meeting, or independent Christian songbook.
