Waiting for Thy Coming

Composed by
Frances Crosby and Ira Sankey

Performed by
The Choir and Orchestra of the New Apostolic Church of Southern Africa

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.

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.

We are waiting, blessed Saviour,

For a union, heart to heart,

With our dear ones who we’re missing,

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.
