Northfield Hymnal No. 3 ‎#334

334. Till He Come

1 ‘Midst the darkness, storm, and sorrow,
One bright gleam I see;
Well I know the blessed morrow
Christ will come for me—
From the light, and peace, and glory
Of the Father’s home,
I am watching for His coming,
Waiting till He come.

Refrain:
I am watching, I am waiting, till He come,
I am watching, I am waiting, till He come,
Oh, the blessed joy of meeting,
Oh the blessed words of greeting,
I am watching, I am waiting, till He come,

2 Who is this who comes to meet me,
On the desert way,
As the Morning Star foretelling
God’s unclouded day?
He it is who came to win me
On the Cross of shame;
In His glory well I know Him
Evermore the same. [Refrain]

3 Oh, the blessed joy of meeting
All the desert past!
Oh! the wondrous words of greeting
He shall speak at last.
He and I, together entering
Those bright courts above;
He and I, together sharing
All the Father’s love. [Refrain]
