Watching For The Day

We' ve been watching, we' ve been waiting, For the bright, prophetic day; When the shadows, weary shadows, From the world shall roll away.

We are waking, for ' tis morning, And the beauteous day is dawning; We are happy, for ' tis morning; See! the shadows flee away. Lo! he comes! see the King draw near! Zion, shout! the Lord is here.

We' ve been watching, we' ve been waiting, For the star that brings the day; For the night of sin to vanish, And the mists to roll away.

We' ve been watching, we' ve been waiting, For the beauteous King of day, For the chiefest of ten thousand, For the Light, the Truth, the Way.

We begin to see the dawning Of the bright, Millennial day; Soon the shadows, weary shadows, Shall forever pass away.
