Peck Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Waiting and watching for dawning of day Refrain First Line: Waiting and watching, the light soon will dawn Lyrics: 1 Waiting and watching for dawning of day, Day never ending and gloriously bright; Pilgrims of earth, upward look on your way; Faithful your vigil, you’ll soon find the light. Refrain: Waiting and watching, the light soon will dawn; Pilgrim, look upward, there shines the dawn. 2 Wait ye, and watch, but oh, never despair! Weary, and sorrowing pilgrims of earth; Darkest the night, just as dawning so fair, On this dear world has its glorious birth. [Refrain] 3 Led by a star, just one single clear ray, "Jesus the Dayspring" by wise men was found; In the bright realms where eternal is day, He is now waiting our faint hopes to crown.
