Author: Mary A. McKee Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12952 First Line: We are looking for the dawning Refrain First Line: He is coming, He is coming Lyrics: 1 We are looking for the dawning
Of a brighter, grander day,
And the curtains of the morning-tide
Will soon be swept away;
Are you ready for His coming?
Will you hasten to obey
When the kingly One is calling
And the clouds have paved His way?
Refrain:
He is coming, He is coming,
He is coming, and our faith will hold Him fast;
He is coming, He is coming
To His ransomed ones at last;
We may hear His stately steppings
’Mid the ruins of the past.
2 Have you sown beside the waters?
Are you ready now to say,
I have scattered with an open hand,
My sheaves about me lay;
Now my sun is slowly west’ring,
While its beams around me stray;
Come, O sun of righteousness, arise!
Assume the sceptered sway. [Refrain]
3 Have you given to the needy
More than mortal can repay?
Have you led them to the fountain
Flashing out a healing spray?
Are you looking to the eastward,
Hoping, waiting while you may?
All will soon be sweet fruition,
Widely flung the portals grey. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are looking for the dawning]
