We Are Waiting, Blessed Saviour Hymn Lyrics

1 We are waiting, blessed Saviour,

We are watching for the hour

When in majesty descending,

Thou shalt come in mighty power;

Then the shadows will be lifted,

And the darkness rolled away,

And our eyes behold the splendour

Of the glorious crowning-day.

2 We are waiting, blessed Saviour,

We are watching not in vain

For the cloud that bore Thee upward,

And will bring Thee back again;

Then, among Thy ransomed people,

We shall tread the shining way,

And our eyes behold the splendour

Of the glorious crowning-day.

3 We are waiting, blessed Saviour,

For a union, heart to heart.

With our dear ones o’er the river,

Where we nevermore shall part;

Then our sorrows, in a moment,

Like a dream will pass away

When our eyes behold the splendour

Of the glorious crowning-day.
