Only Waiting

Only waiting till the dawning Is a little brighter grown, Only waiting till the shadows Of the world' s dark night are flown, Till the shadows all shall vanish In the blessed, blessed day; For the morn, at last, is breaking Thro' the twilight, soft and gray.

Only waiting till the presence Of the Sun of Righteousness Shall dispel the noxious vapors, Ignorance, and prejudice; Till the glory of the sunlight Of the bright Millennial day Scatters all the mists of darkness, Lights the gloom with healing ray.

Waiting for the restitution, Promised in the holy Word; When our race, redeemed and risen, Know and love their Saviour Lord. When each man shall love his fellow; Justice give to each and all; Dwell in love, and dwell in Jesus, Who redeemed them from the fall.
