Till Je­sus comes, we’ll la­bor, watch and pray,
In His dear ser­vice spend each wait­ing day,
And while His work our lov­ing hands em­ploy,
We up­ward gaze, and watch for Him with joy.

Refrain

For He’ll come, yes, He’ll come,
His pro­mise to ful­fill;
The hope of His ap­pear­ing:
Our hearts with rap­ture fill;
We’re wait­ing for the dawn
Of earth’s mil­len­ni­al morn,
When we’ll greet our glo­ri­ous bride­groom,
King of kings.

I’ll come again, we read the mes­sage sweet,
Its words of cheer to wea­ry hearts re­peat;
Tell of His blood that cleans­eth from all sin,
The joy He gives, the vic­to­ry with­in.

Refrain

O Bride of Christ, be faith­ful to thy Lord,
To ev­ery na­tion speed His part­ing word;
Be filled with faith, and keep the heart aglow,
Let all the world your hope in Je­sus know.

Refrain

The toil and suf­fer­ing here will soon be o’er,
And with the Lord we’ll be for­ev­er­more;
Go la­bor on, and for His com­ing pray;
O bless­èd hope! we’ll see His face some day.
