We Wait His Coming

We wait the com­ing of the Lord

The Sav­ior reign­ing now above;

The pro­mise of His ho­ly Word

He shall con­firm in truth and love.

O wait

calm­ly wait

for He will come;

O wait

He will come and bring us home;

O wait

calm­ly wait

for He will come;

O wait

He will come and bring us home.

We wait the com­ing of our friend

Who loves us with im­mor­tal love;

And shall Him­self from Heav’n des­cend

And bring us to our home above.

We wait the com­ing of the King

Who holds the key of ev­ery grave

Who will the palms of vic­to­ry bring

And all His loy­al peo­ple save.
