Lord, I believe thy every word,
Thy every promise true;
And lo! I wait on thee, my Lord,
Till I my strength renew.
If in this feeble flesh I may
A while show forth thy praise,
Jesus, support the tottering clay,
And lengthen out my days.
If such a worm as I can spread
The common Saviour’s name,
Let him who raised thee from the dead
Quicken my mortal frame.
Still let me live thy blood to show,
Which purges every stain;
And gladly linger out below
A few more years in pain.
Charles Wesley
Down life’s dark vale we wander,
Till Jesus comes;
We watch and wait and wonder,
Till Jesus comes.
Oh, let my lamp be burning
When Jesus comes;
For Him my soul be yearning,
When Jesus comes.
No more heart-pangs nor sadness,
When Jesus comes;
All peace and joy and gladness,
When Jesus comes.
All doubts and fears will vanish,
When Jesus comes;
All gloom His face will banish,
When Jesus comes.
He’ll know the way was dreary,
When Jesus comes;
He’ll know the feet grew weary,
When Jesus comes.
He’ll know what griefs oppressed me,
When Jesus comes;
Oh, how His arms will rest me!
When Jesus comes.
Chorus
All joy His loved ones bringing,
When Jesus comes;
All praise thro’ heaven ringing,
When Jesus comes.
All beauty bright and vernal,
When Jesus comes;
All glory, grand, eternal,
When Jesus comes.
P. P. Bliss
