262. To wait for that important day

1 To wait for that important day,
When Christ His glorious power'll display,
Be this our one great care:
To do His will, our business here;
No toil to shun, no danger fear;
Resolved our cross to bear.

2 And though He should prolong His stay,
And sinners mock at the delay,
His people need not fear;
The Man who wore the crown of thorns,
Whose claim the world rejects and scorns,
In glory will appear.

3 In patience, then, we now may rest,
(Assured the Father's time is best,)
And all His word obey:
We wait till that blest day shall come
When Jesus will convey us home,
And all His pow'r display.
