Waiting for Our Lord’s Returning

1. Vain are all terrestial pleasures; Mix'd with dross the purest gold; Seek we then for heavenly treasures,--Treasures never waxing old.
2 Earthly joys no longer please us; Here would we renounce them all; Seek our only rest in Jesus,— Him our Lord and Master call. Faith, our languid spirits cheering, Points to brighter worlds above; Bids us look for his appearing; Bids us triumph in his love.
