WE WAIT FOR THEE.

We wait for thee, all-glorious One! We look for thine appearing; We bear thy name, and on the throne We see thy presence cheering. Faith even now Uplifts its brow, And sees the Lord descending, And with him bliss unending.
We wait for thee through days forlorn, In patient self-denial; We know that thou our guilt hast borne Upon thy cross of trial. And well may we Submit with thee To bear the cross and love it, Until thy hand remove it.
We wait for thee; already thou Hast all our hearts' submission; And though the Spirit sees thee now, We long for open vision; When ours shall be Sweet rest with thee, And pure, unfading pleasure, And life in endless measure.
