9988. Watching For The Dawning

1 We are watching, we are waiting
Till the mists shall clear away,
And our Lord shall come in glory
With His saints in bright array;
When the trump of God resounding,
Shall be heard on every shore,
And the dead in Christ shall waken
To be with Him evermore.

Refrain:
We are watching, we are waiting,
For the dawning of that glorious day,
For the coming of our Savior,
With His saints in bright array.

2 We are looking for the coming
Of our great and glorious king,
Who shall banish from His presence
Every dark and evil thing;
When His justice and His mercy
Shall prevail in all the world,
And o’er every tribe and nation
Shall His banner be unfurled. [Refrain]

3 Now by faith we catch a vision
Of that glad millennial reign,
And behold the ransomed millions
Who shall follow in His train;
And our hearts cry out, Come quickly,
That His beauty we may see,
And be with our Lord in glory
Thro’ a blest eternity. [Refrain]
