In expectation sweet

Author: Anon. Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 In expectation sweet, We'll wait, and sing, and pray, Till Christ's triumphal car we meet, And see an endless day. 2 He comes! the conqueror comes! Death falls beneath his sword; The joyful prisoners burst the tombs, And rise to meet their Lord. 3 The trumpet sounds, Awake! The saints the call obey; Their joyful upward flight they take To realms of endless day. 4 Thrice happy morn for those Who love the ways of peace; No night of sorrow e'er shall close Or shade their perfect bliss.

Thy wings shall my petition bear To him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And, since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Lord, to thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Godhead one, and Persons three; Join us with the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. Used With Tune: DIX
