Saudade
Hinário Adventista
Longing
From the beautiful homeland I am very far, sad I am
I miss Jesus; when will I go?
Birds, beautiful flowers, make me long
For the wonders and splendors of my heavenly home!
Christ gave me a faithful promise, He will come for me
My heart is in a hurry, I want to fly now
My sins were many, and I am guilty
But His Blood cleanses me, and I will go to my homeland
Like a son, longing for his home, I want to go
Like a bird to its nest, I want to rise to heaven
He is faithful, His coming is certain; when, I do not know
But He will find me alert; with Him to Heaven I will go!
