That which for long the prophets sought,
|
|
| 1. | That which for long the prophets sought, |
| | The righteous yearned to see, |
| | Has in these last of days appeared |
| | In its reality. |
| | And we're now in the final stages, |
| | 'Tis the completion of all the ages. |
| | All those who believed the promise |
| | Are perfected now in us. |
| 2. | Oh, blessed are our eyes that see, |
| | Our ears, how blessed to hear; |
| | Things angels ne'er could look into |
| | Are now to us made clear. |
| 3. | Our sense is corporate, bold and strong, |
| | His grace, how free to take; |
| | Encouraging the other on, |
| | Run for the kingdom's sake. |
| 4. | We're weary not this race to run, |
| | It makes our joy complete; |
| | For this we know, around the bend, |
| | The Lord we'll surely meet. |
