1 I AM waiting, ever waiting,
For the brighter, better day,
Just beyond the clouds and shadows,
That surround my lonely way;
For a day of light and gladness,
Such as earth has never known.
When in equity and justice,
Christ shall reign on David's throne.
2 All the prophets of past ages
Saw its brightness from afar,
And in words sublime have spoken
Of the peace and glory there.
They have slept in those green valleys,
Which in weariness they trod;
Soon they'll come with songs of triumph,
To the holy mount of God.
3Â Â Now the world is full of suffering.
Sounds of woe fall on my ears,
Sights of wretchedness and sorrow
Fill my eyes with piting tears.
'Tis the earth's dark night of weeping;
Wrong and evil triumph then'
I can wait, for just before me
Beams the morning's roseate glow.
4Â Â I am waiting, hoping, praying
For Messiah's glorious reign
For I know he'll rule in justice;
Right and truth will triumph then.
Worldly pleasures cannot win me,
while I wait for that Bright day,
Worldly splendour cannot charm me,
While its light beams on my way
:cheer:
