Hymn 388 — Lord, we wait for Thine appearing;
| 388 | T. KELLY (1769-1855) | 8.7.8.7.4.7. |
| 1 |
Lord, we wait for Thine appearing; "Even so," Thy people say; Bright the prospect is, and cheering, Of beholding Thee that day, When our sorrow Shall for ever pass away. | |
| 2 |
Base the wish, and vain th'endeavour, Here on earth to find our rest; Till we see Thy face, we never Shall or can be fully blest; In Thy presence Nothing shall our peace molest. | |
| 3 |
Till Thou comest keep us steady, Ever walking in Thy ways; At Thy call may we be ready, On Thee, Lord, with joy to gaze; And in glory Sing Thine everlasting praise! | |
