Remind me, Lord, today of Your return

Remind me

Lord

today of Your return;

While here on earth I pray: May my heart for You yearn.

From heav’n You’ll soon appear

Your face we’ll see;

Awaiting You so dear we must always be.

Yet how oft

forgetting Your promise true

I have lived my days far from You.

May all my days ahead be fixed on Thee—

Oh

I’m here

Lord

awaiting Thee!

While here below I stay

indeed I know—

You will return one day; I must all things forgo.

I set my all on You—You who are true;

My life is set towards You

e’en the things I’ll do.

I just see no hope on this dull

dark earth;

No bright lot in false

fading mirth!

My hope’s my coming Lord

our destiny—

Oh

I’m here

Lord

awaiting Thee!
