ADVENT SONG OF THE FAITHFUL.
63
In His love our lives we hide—
He will come;
By His promises abide,
For He will come.
Our inheritance is sure;
Marvel ye that we endure?
He will come;
By His promises abide,
For He will come.
Our inheritance is sure;
Marvel ye that we endure?
Watch ye all beneath the sun—
He will come!—
Winning what ye ne'er have won
When He shall come;
Better things than life hath brought,
Greater things than time hath wrought.
He will come!—
Winning what ye ne'er have won
When He shall come;
Better things than life hath brought,
Greater things than time hath wrought.
Life and time will fleet away;
He will come;
Then your nay must still be nay
When He is come;
Till that day He intercedes;
Still as on His cross tie pleads.
He will come;
Then your nay must still be nay
When He is come;
Till that day He intercedes;
Still as on His cross tie pleads.
Watch! and if the hours seem long
Till He come,
Sing with us Faith's perfect song:
"Lord Jesus, come!"
Sweet, oh, sweet the time if we
Watching, faithful grow as He!
Till He come,
Sing with us Faith's perfect song:
"Lord Jesus, come!"
Sweet, oh, sweet the time if we
Watching, faithful grow as He!
