Laudes Domini ‎#537

537. We are watching

1 We are watching, we are waiting,
For the bright prophetic day:
When the shadows, weary shadows,
From the world shall roll away.

Chorus:
We are waiting for the morning,
When the beauteous day is dawning;
We are waiting for the morning,
For the golden spires of day.
Lo! he comes! see the King draws near;
Zion, shout! the Lord is here.

2 We are watching, we are waiting,
For the star that brings the day:
When the night of sin shall vanish,
And the shadows melt away. [Chorus]

3 We are watching, we are waiting,
For the beauteous King of day:
For the Chiefest of ten-thousand,
For the Light, the Truth, the Way. [Chorus]
