Look for the Way-Marks

Look for the way-marks as you jour­ney on

Look for the way-marks pass­ing one by one;

Down through the ag­es

past the king­doms four—

Where are we stand­ing? Look the way-marks o’er.

Look for the way-marks

The great pro­phet­ic way-marks

Down through the ag­es

Past the king­doms four.

Look for the way-marks

The great pro­phet­ic way-marks;

The jour­ney’s al­most o’er.

First

the As­sy­ri­an king­dom ruled the world

Then Me­do-Per­sia’s ban­ners were un­furled;

And af­ter Greece held uni­vers­al sway

Rome seized the scep­ter—where are we to­day?

Down in the feet of ir­on and of clay

Weak and di­vid­ed

soon to pass away;

What will the next great

glo­ri­ous dra­ma be?

Christ and His com­ing

and eter­ni­ty.
