We Are Watching

We are watch­ing

we are wait­ing

For the bright pro­phet­ic day;

When the sha­dows

wea­ry sha­dows

From the world shall roll away.

We are wait­ing for the morn­ing

When the beau­te­ous day is dawn­ing;

We are wait­ing for the morn­ing

For the gold­en spires of day.

Lo! He comes! see the King draw near;

Zion

shout! the Lord is here.

We are watch­ing

we are wait­ing

For the star that brings the day;

When the night of sin shall van­ish

And the sha­dows melt away.

We are watch­ing

we are wait­ing

For the beau­te­ous King of day;

For the chief­est of ten thou­sand

For the Light

the Truth

the Way.

We are watch­ing

we are wait­ing

For the time so long fore­told

When with saved ones of all ag­es

We shall walk the streets of gold.

We are watching

we are wait­ing

For an earth made free from strife

Then the pow­er of Sa­tan end­ed

We shall have eter­nal life.
