Hasting on His Coming

Looking for the com­ing of the Mas­ter

Hasting on the glad Mil­len­ni­al Day;

So the Bride should wait for His re­turn­ing

So the Church should wait

and watch and pray.

We may hast­en for­ward His ap­pear­ing

We may speed along the lin­ger­ing years

We may send the Gos­pel as a wit­ness

And pre­pare the way ere He ap­pears.

Longing for the com­ing of the Mas­ter

It will bring us all we hold most dear;

Oh

to be with Je­sus in His glo­ry

And to have our loved ones with us there.

All our griefs and wrongs shall then be right­ed

Earth shall be a para­dise again

Sin and sick­ness

death and sor­row end­ed

Joy and peace shall hold an end­less reign.

Hasting on the com­ing of the Mas­ter

Let us speed the days that lin­ger still

Time is count­ed yon­der

not by num­bers

But con­di­tions which we may ful­fill.

If we bring the oth­er sheep to Je­sus

If we send the Gos­pel ev­ery­where

We may hast­en for­ward His ap­pear­ing

And His bless­èd com­ing help pre­pare.

Is there some­one still among your loved ones

Would be miss­ing should He come to­day?

Is there any sin upon our con­sci­ence

That would make us from Him hide away?

Is there some­thing we could do for Je­sus

Something that would help to make Him king?

Let us gird our loins to meet the Bride­groom

And His glo­ri­ous com­ing haste to bring.
