We Wait

By George Dickie Gurley

Waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:7.
UNTIL He come in royal state Who rose to God from Olivet, With clouds and angels, glory great, In hope we wait.
Until the final Easter break, When all who sleep in Christ awake, And home the Spouse His bride doth take, In faith we wait.
Until the judgment’s awful cleft Mankind asunder far has reft, And gulf impassable has left, In awe we wait.
Until new heaven and earth obtain, Wherein no sorrow, death, or pain, The church presented without stain, Trusting we wait.
Until we see Him face to face In yon foretold, prepared place. United sing His saving grace, Yearning we wait.
Through ages long and darkness deep Christ’s people holy vigil keep; In faith unfaltering without sleep, Watching we wait.
While years into millenniums grow, The church all slumber doth forego; With love at fervid bridal glow, The bride doth wait. —Rev. George Dickie Gurley.
