Representative Text

1 Bright till our Lord’s returning,
Till the Savior comes;
Oh, may our lamps be burning,
Till the Savior comes.

Refrain:
Here in sweet communion,
Watching, waiting ever,
Let us dwell in bond of union
Till the Savior comes.

2 Why should our hearts grow weary,
Till the Savior comes?
Why should our way be dreary,
Till the Savior comes? [Refrain]

3 Watch, while our burden bearing,
Till the Savior comes;
Pray, while our labor sharing,
Till the Savior comes. [Refrain]

4 Count every pain a pleasure,
Till the Savior comes;
Trust for our heavenly treasure,
Till the Savior comes. [Refrain]

5 Love be our joyful story,
Till the Savior comes,
Love and our home in glory,
Till the Savior comes. [Refrain]
