We Are Waiting.

By S. Elmer

We are waiting to hear the trumpet sound, When the dead shall arise from the slumbering ground, To see the Lord of glory crowned, In that bright morn.

We are waiting to see the Saviour come, To take his ransomed children home, No more as pilgrims here to roam 'Mid toil and care.

We are waiting to see our friends again, Whom death, the enemy has slain, And range with them, the golden plain, In Heaven above.

We are waiting for joys that ne'er shall die, Where the tear is wiped from the mourner's eye, And crystal fountains never dry, 'Mid fadeless flowers.

We are waiting to meet the radiant throng, And join in the clear triumphant song, As it rolls through the blissful world along, Worthy the Lamb!

We are waiting, how cheering the thought, to know, How soon we'll leave this world of woe, And to those heavenly mansions go, And be at rest. S. ELMER. Ashfield, Mass.
