Waiting for Christ.

By C. H. Rogers

AIR.—Hazel Dell.

SAD and lone my weary watch I'm keeping, Pressed with many a fear, For my blessed Saviour now I'm waiting, When will he appear? While the scoffers round me walk securely, Smiling at my pain, I am waiting for a hope that surely Is my lasting gain.
CHORUS.
Sad and lone my watch I'm keeping, Pressed with many a fear; For my blessed Saviour now I'm waiting, When will he appear?
Signs and tokens now are fast fulfilling, Of the kingdom near, While the cry of sin and wrath is filling Every listening ear. While with anxious hope our minds subduing, Here we watch and pray, And with faith our weary hearts renewing, In this rugged way.
CHORUS. Sad and lone, &c.
Dearest Lord, we wait for thine appearing, Hasten the glad day, When our loved ones from their graves uprearing, Wake from slumbering clay; Then while floods of endless love come o'er us, Join with loud acclaim In the tones of joy that swell the chorus, To the Lamb once slain.
CHORUS. Sad and lone, &c.
