Waiting for My Lord

By W. S. Cruzan

BY W. S. CRUZAN

I am waiting for the coming Of earth's long expected Lord; For the signs are now fulfilling That He gave us in His Word. I am watching, I am waiting, For that promised happy day; Yet I do not cease my working; I must work as well as pray.

Day and hour no mortal knoweth Of the coming of the Lord; This the Master plainly showeth In the teaching of His Word; Yet that day of days is coming, And that glorious hour is nigh; For the signs are now appearing In the earth and sea and sky.

I may sleep before the dawning Of that bright celestial day; Short and sweet will be the slumber, In the twilight shadows gray, Ere th' Archangel's trumpet soundeth, Ringing through the graveyard's gloom, And each Christian sleeper waketh From the Sabbath of the tomb.

I am waiting, I am praying, For that coming happy day, As I read each promise, saying, "Christ is on His earthward way." I can wait until that dawning— Cast my care upon the Lord— Come at eve or noon or morning, He will bring my just reward.
