Turning back, reviewing past experience I've had
He is mine and I am His, the glimpse of moments glad
Feelings satisfied my heart, and that was plainly clear
But my feelings left me searching for his presence
In the vacant walls once lined with love sincere
Will you wait until the day dawns upon us
And shadows flee away, on the mountains
Of Bether, for me yearn, O my beloved, turn
O my beloved, turn
O my beloved, turn
Shadows lengthen o'er my path, the sun begins to fade
Pleasures from love's youthful bliss-the wall that I have made
Clearly insufficient I can see the tall demand
And the calling was surmounting, it was more than I could stand
So reluctance came and paralyzed my heart to take his hand
Will you wait until the day dawns upon us
And shadows flee away, on the mountains
Of Bether, for me yearn, O my beloved, turn
O my beloved, turn
O my beloved, turn
Rising to forsake my treasured feelings-now my test
Tenderly he called me from the bed in which I rest
Night by night I sought him from my cavernous domain
But the echoes of the night had me surrounded
So it seems that all my seeking was in vain, now I'm pleading
Will you wait until the day dawns upon us
And shadows flee away, on the mountains
Of Bether, for me yearn, O my beloved, turn
O my beloved, turn
O my beloved, turn
