ARE WE WAITING ?

By C. P. A. W.

Are we waiting for our Saviour With the angel band?— Coming to redeem his children From a dying land.

Coming in the clouds of heaven, Waiting ones to save ; Coming to restore our loved ones From the lonely grave.

We shall know no more of sorrow, Know no more of pain ; When on earth redeemed in glory Jesus comes to reign.

Are we waiting, surely waiting, Striving every day, To overcome the sins that cluster 'Round our earthly way ?

Are we patient 'mid the trials Of our daily life ? Are we rendering good for evil In a world of strife ?

Are we waiting, surely waiting, Working while we wait, To arouse our fellow mortals From a sleeping state ?

Precious time is flying swiftly, We've a work to do ; Let us careful be, while waiting, Lest we're sleeping too.

C. P. A. W.
