The Lord’s Good Time Is Coming

There is a time for wak­ing and for sleep­ing

A time for war­ring and a time for peace;

A time for sow­ing

and a time for reap­ing

A time for toil

a time when toil must cease.

A time of rest will come to hearts grown wea­ry

A time of praise to those that grieve and sigh

A time of joy to those whose lives are drea­ry

The Lord’s good time is com­ing by and by.

A time for pain

a time for shade­less plea­sures

A time for sha­dows and a time for light;

A time to lose

a time to find our trea­sures

A time for faith

a time for per­fect sight.

A time for tears

a time for rap­tur­ous greet­ing

A time for ex­ile and a time for home;

A time for part­ing

and a time for meet­ing

Trust on! The Lord’s good time will sure­ly come.
