WE LOOK FOR THE SAVIOUR.

By A Lady of Hull

I CANNOT tell, I may not know, When Jesus will be here; But some day, when we least expect, I know he will appear. Then, Lord, may I be washed from sin, And pure and spotless be, That I may look for thee with joy, And long thy face to see.
I should not like him when he comes, A wandering lamb to find; If I were idle, selfish, proud, Untruthful, or unkind,— How I should try to hide my face, And from his presence flee! I could not look for him with joy, Or long his face to see.
Lord Jesus, as the years go by, And thine own day draws near, O make me know that I am thine, For then I need not fear. If I am cleansed and kept from sin, From Satan's power set free, Then I may look for thee with joy, And long thy face to see. —A Lady of Hull.
