|
<p>O Son of God, we wait for Thee,<br>
|
|
In love for Thine appearing;<br>
|
|
We know Thou sittest on the throne,<br>
|
|
And we Thy Name are bearing,<br>
|
|
Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be,<br>
|
|
And see Thee, Lord, descending,<br>
|
|
To bring us bliss unending.</p>
|
|
<p>We wait for Thee ’mid toil and pain,<br>
|
|
In weariness and sighing;<br>
|
|
But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne,<br>
|
|
And canceled it by dying;<br>
|
|
Hence cheerfully may we with Thee<br>
|
|
Take up our cross and bear it,<br>
|
|
Till we relief inherit.</p>
|
|
<p>We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won<br>
|
|
Our hearts to hope and duty;<br>
|
|
But while our spirits feel Thee near,<br>
|
|
Our eyes would see Thy beauty;<br>
|
|
We fain would be at rest with Thee<br>
|
|
In peace and joy supernal,<br>
|
|
In glorious life eternal.</p>
|
|
<p>We wait for Thee; sure Thou wilt come;<br>
|
|
The time is swiftly nearing;<br>
|
|
In this we also now rejoice,<br>
|
|
And long for Thine appearing.<br>
|
|
Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see,<br>
|
|
Homeward Thy people bringing,<br>
|
|
With transport and with singing!</p>
