119. The Upward Gaze

1 Have you on your wedding garments,
Are you clothed in raiment white,
Are you looking for the Bridegroom
Coming back on clouds of light?

Refrain:
Are you looking for the Bridegroom,
Are you shouting loud His praise,
Are you waiting, are you watching,
Have you now the upward gaze?

2 Are you looking unto Jesus
For the saving, cleansing pow’r;
Is your heart made pure and holy,
Does He keep you ev’ry hour? [Refrain]

3 Spread the tidings that He’s coming,
Sing aloud the glad refrain;
Send the news to ev’ry nation,
Christ is coming back again. [Refrain]

4 O the joy when we shall meet Him,
Left behind all pain and tears,
In His bright millennial kingdom,
Reign with Christ a thousand years.

I am looking for the Bridegroom,
I am shouting loud His praise,
I am waiting, I am watching,
I have now the upward gaze.
