WE'LL WAIT AND WATCH

There’s a light that is shining in darkness,
While we wait for the dawning of day;
And it cheers us along on our journey,
Till the shadows shall vanish away!

So we’ll wait and watch for the dawning,
The day of eternity blest;
Then take the wings of the morning,
And fly away to our rest.

From the sure word
the prophets have spoken,
There is light flashing forth
through the gloom;
For the Scripture can never be broken,
And the King in His glory will come.

Now we sing ‘mid
the darkness and shadows,
And we pray and we watch for the dawn;
Till the Daystar, in glory arising,
Shall betoken the coming of morn.
