Refrain:
Wait a little while,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
Wait a little while,
Then we'll sing the New Song.

1 The warfare here will soon be done,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
The fight for truth will soon be won,
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

2 The Lord from heav'n will soon appear,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
And bring His full redemption near,
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

3 Our pray'rs and fasts will then be o'er,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
And we shall rest forevermore,
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

4 Then let us haste the happy day,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
Let's work and wait and watch and pray,
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

5 Let ev'ry ransomed spirit cry,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
For Jesus' coming from on high,
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

6 Let all creation groan to see,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
This happy day of liberty,
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

7 O hallelujah it is near,
Then we'll sing the New Song;
Our glorious Lord will soon appear!
Then we'll sing the New Song. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
