The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#54

54. While the Golden Sceptre Waits

1 While the golden sceptre waits,
Mercy, standing at her gates,
Calls with tender, pleading voice,
Come, behold it, and rejoice;
To the royal sceptre bow,
Own the Saviour Conqueror now.

2 While the golden sceptre waits,
Now from yonder palace gates
Happy songs that sweetly ring
Bid us hail our mighty King;
To the royal sceptre bow,
Own the Saviour Conqueror now.

3 While the golden sceptre bright
Waves amid the gospel light,
At the feet of Jesus fall,
Hail and crown Him Lord of all;
To the royal sceptre bow,
Own the Saviour Conqueror now.
