Lyrics

1. O Son of God, we wait for Thee, in love for Thine appearing; this time of waiting soon will be forgotten, stilled our yearning. Who trusts in Thee, shall joyful be and see Thee, Lord, descending to bring us bliss unending.
2. We wait for Thee, mid toil and pain, in weariness and sighing, but glad that Thou our guilt has borne and cancelled it by dying. Hence cheerfully may we with Thee take up our cross and bear it, till we relief inherit.
3. We wait for Thee, here Thou hast won our hearts to hope and duty, but while our spirits feel Thee near, our eyes would see Thy beauty. We long to be at rest with Thee in peace and joy supernal, in glorious life eternal.
4. We wait for Thee, for Thou wilt come; our hearts with joy are beating. Forgotten all our grief and pain when thinking of this meeting. O, bliss 'twill be when Thee we see; our praises to Thee singing, eternal thanks Thee bringing.
