Text: | Waiting till He Shall Appear |
Author: | Frank Gould |
Tune: | [The Lord in his word has commanded] |
Composer: | Jno. R. Sweney |
1 The Lord in his word has commanded
That faithful I ever must be;
And now I am waiting the Bridegroom,
Whenever he calleth for me.
Refrain:
Waiting till He shall appear,
My lamp burning brightly and clear;
My watch I will keep,
Nor slumber nor sleep;
I’m waiting till he shall appear.
2 My lamp must be carefully guarded,
That Jesus its lustre may see;
For, though I am sure of his coming,
I know not how soon it will be. [Refrain]
3 Perhaps he may come at the midnight,
Perhaps at the dawning of day;
But I must be ready to meet him,—
His summons admits no delay. [Refrain]
4 By grace he shall find me still watching,
And clothed in the garment so fair,
With a garment his love has provided
For all at the marriage to wear. [Refrain]
