Wait! Wait! Jesus Will Come!

Watch ye and wait

O breth­ren of God

Wait for the com­ing of Je­sus our Lord;

Ages have passed

yet bright grows the dawn

Jesus has pro­mised to come in the morn.

Wait! wait! Je­sus will come

Soon will our bride­groom des­cend from His throne;

Wait! wait! Je­sus will come

Jesus is com­ing again to His own.

Steadfastly wait

and pa­tient­ly pray

Thus did our fa­thers who wished for the day;

Cheerful they toiled and calm­ly did die

Waiting for Je­sus to come from the sky.

Some day the sky will part like a scroll

Over the earth will the judg­ment trump roll;

But to the saints ’twill hap­pi­ness bring

Since they have wait­ed so long for their king.
