Are you watching only watching For the setting of the sun? Does the tender voice of mercy Touch no chord within your soul? Will you only heed the warning When you're standing at the goal? Chorus: Seek him thou, seek him thou, For the light is shining now; Ere the cheek has lost its bloom In the shadow of the tomb, Seek him now, seek him now. 2 Are you feeding, only feeding On the husk of worldly joys? Are you playing idly playing With life's brightly gilded toys? Are you laying up no treasure In that land beyond the veil, Where the joys are everlasting, And the pleasures never fail? [Chorus] 3 Are you waiting, only waiting Till your bark shall slowly glide O'er the solemn, silent river To that land beyond the tide? Will you slight the hand of Jesus When your skies are fair and bright, And then seek him, only seek him At the fading of the light? [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Are you waiting, only waiting]
