Linger on the trembling chords;
Let the little while between
In their golden light be seen;
Let us think how heaven and home
Lie beyond that "Till he come."

To the silent land remove,
Though the earth seems poor and waste,
All our life-joy overcast,
Hush! be every murmur dumb;
It is only "Till he come."
3 Clouds and conflicts round us press;
Would we have one sorrow less?
All the sharpness of the cross,
All that tells the world is loss,
Death, and darkness, and the tomb,
Only whisper "Till he come." Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: ELTHAM
