318.  Watching For The Day

1
We’ve been watching, we’ve been waiting,
For the bright, prophetic day;
When the shadows, weary shadows,
From the world shall roll away.

Chorus
We are waking, for ‘tis morning,
And the beauteous day is dawning;
We are happy, for ‘tis morning;
See! the shadows flee away.
Lo! he comes! see the King draw near!
Zion, shout! the Lord is here.

2
We’ve been watching, we’ve been waiting,
For the star that brings the day;
For the night of sin to vanish,
And the mists to roll away.

3
We’ve been watching, we’ve been waiting,
For the beauteous King of day,
For the chiefest of ten thousand,
For the Light, the Truth, the Way.

4
We begin to see the dawning
Of the bright, Millennial day;
Soon the shadows, weary shadows,
Shall forever pass away.
