Author: Mary Elizabeth Servoss Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #78889 First Line: As the lightning’s bright flash in the eastern horizon Refrain First Line: Then be watching and waiting Lyrics: 1 As the lightning’s bright flash in the eastern horizon
Sweeps over the sky when a storm draweth near;
So the people of earth shall awake to the coming
Of Him who will soon in His glory appear.
Refrain:
Then be watching and waiting,
Then be watching and waiting,
For we know not the hour when He cometh in power!
Then be watching and waiting, the Lord will appear!
2 Oh, who then shall go forward in triumph to meet Him;
And who shall be scattered like terrified flocks?
Who shall lift up glad voices with praises to greet Him,
And who for a shelter will cry to the rocks? [Refrain]
3 Oh, the children of faith who await His appearing
Shall joy in His presence and bask in His love;
For their souls have been washed in the blood of His ransom,
And fitted through Him for the glory above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [As the lightning's bright flash in the eastern horizon]
The Lord Will Appear
