Author: Alfred Henry Ackley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9109 First Line: I am waiting for the hour Refrain First Line: I am waiting, I am waiting Lyrics: 1 I am waiting for the hour
When the King in all His power,
With a mighty shout from Heaven
Shall descend:
Those who love Him shall rejoice
When they heard His blessèd voice,
And with Him shall reign thro’ ages
Without end.
Refrain:
I am waiting, I am waiting,
I am waiting for the coming
Of the King;
For that great and glorious day
When the clouds are rolled away,
I am waiting for the coming
Of the King.
2 Thro’ the spacious hills of time
Angels sing their songs sublime,
Till the rocks and hills and valleys
Catch the strain;
Worlds flung into space afar,
Sun and moon and glittering star,
Echo back in joyous rapture
The refrain. [Refrain]
3 In a moment changed complete,
Lifted to a land replete
With His perfect touch of love, no
Blemish there;
Every mystery made plain,
Every loss my richest gain,
Fullest joy and matchless splendor
Everywhere. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I am waiting for the hour]
Waiting For The King
