Hasten, Lord, Thy Coming

lyricist: William Ketchum, 1918
Composer: Daniel Towner

We are wait­ing

bless­èd Je­sus

Watching

wait­ing

still for Thee;

Thou hast told us Thou art coming

We are wait­ing pa­tient­ly.

Hasten Thou

dear Lord

Thy com­ing

We ho­san­nas then shall sing

Shouting Glo­ry! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Crown Im­ma­nu­el

the King!

Lamps all trimmed and bright­ly burn­ing

Ready we would al­ways be;

For the cry

The Bride­groom com­eth!

We are wait­ing ea­ger­ly.

Occupying

till Thou com­est;

Thus Thy Word we would ob­ey;

Then

O Lord

Thou wilt re­ward us

On that bright and glad­some day.

Now in Heav­en

Thou dost tar­ry

Our high priest with­in the veil

While we wait for Thine ap­pear­ing

Knowing well Thou wilt not fail.
