He Is Coming

Author: Mary A. McKee Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #39 (1889) First Line: We are looking for the dawning 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] Tune Title: [We are looking for the dawning]
