WE ARE WAITING.

By Lilla D. Avery

We are waiting, yes, we're waiting, For the glorious time to come, When our King shall reign in beauty, And shall take his children home.

We are waiting for that kingdom Which by prophets was foretold; For we long to see its beauties, And to walk its streets of gold.

We are waiting for the tumult And the strife of men to cease, We are waiting, and we're longing For that glorious reign of peace.

Yes; we wait to dwell with angels In that land of pure delight, Where bright flowers bloom forever, And the “Lamb shall be its light.”

And we wait to hear His welcome, Bidding us to come and share Mansions built for the believing; We are waiting to be there.

LILLA D. AVERY.
