262. To Wait for That Important Day

8,8,6, bis.

1
To wait for that important day,
 
When Christ His glorious power’ll display,
 
Be this our one great care:
 
To do His will, our business here;
 
No toil to shun, no danger fear;
 
Resolved our cross to bear.
2
And though He should prolong His stay,
 
And sinners mock at the delay,
 
His people need not fear;
 
The Man who wore the crown of thorns,
 
Whose claim the world rejects and scorns,
 
In glory will appear.
3
In patience, then, we now may rest
 
(Assured the Father’s time is best),
 
And all His Word obey:
 
We wait till that blest day shall come
 
When Jesus will convey us home,
 
And all His power display.
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3)
