I am watching for the morning

I am watching for the morning, I am looking for the dawning I am watching for the morning Of that day—that day. I am waiting for the meeting, I am longing for the greeting; I am waiting for the meeting With my Lord, that day.

I am gazing up for Thee, Lord, Until Thy face I see, Lord; I am gazing up for Thee, Lord, Till that day—that day. I would haste the consummation Of that great and full salvation; I would haste the consummation Of our joys, that day.

How I long to see Thy smile, Lord, When has passed the little while, Lord; How I long to see Thy smile, Lord, On that day—that day. O to see the beam of gladness On that face once marred with sadness; O to see the beam of gladness On Thy face, that day.

O to see the morning breaking, O the joy of such awaking; O to see the morning breaking On that day—that day. To be caught up, Lord, for ever, To be parted, Lord, no never; To be with Thee, Lord, for ever From that rapturous day.

With the Lord to be for ever, With the saints to be together; With the Lord to be for ever From that day—that day.
