Lord, We See the Day Approaching

Author: Mary B. Peters Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3999 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Lord, we see the day approaching, When Thou wilt again appear; Sinners still Thy garments touching, Stay Thee in Thy coming here. 2. Hid in Heaven all our treasure, Patience now becomes Thy saints; Lord, we wait Thy gracious pleasure, Faith should silence all complaints. 3. Through the wilderness we wander, Troubled oft, but not distressed; Seek we glory? It is yonder, Suffering pledges future rest. 4. Coming judgments round us darken, Human hearts may fail or fear; But to Thee alone we hearken, Your redemption draweth near. 5. Make each waiting child obedient, Stay our anxious hearts on this: If Thy going were expedient, Surely Thy return is bliss. 6. Our own Lord is coming hither, Light in darkness, joy in grief; Hope deferred would quickly wither Hearts that had not this relief. 7. All we need is deep affection, Singleness of eye and heart; Strength to own Thee in rejection: Grace sufficient, Lord, impart! Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKLESBY
