1306--We love Thy coming, Lord!

We love Thy coming, Lord!

1306

	1.	We love Thy coming, Lord!
		We know not when 'twill be,
		But turn from all distracting things
		Thine own dear face to see.
	2.	We serve the living God
		And wait His son to see;
		For this we need faith, love, and hope,
		Increasing constantly.
	3.	In Thy dear presence, Lord,
		We hope we all may be
		A crown of glory and a joy
		To those we then shall see.
	4.	We love Thy coming, Lord;
		The time is very nigh.
		Our hearts unblameable must be
		To greet Thee from on high.
	5.	The Lord Himself shall come
		With loud assembling word,
		And all the saints in Christ shall be
		Forever with the Lord.
	6.	We're children of the day,
		We're children of the light;
		That day should never come to us
		As does a thief at night.
	7.	Lord, wholly sanctify
		And blameless let us be
		In spirit, soul, and body too
		For that blest day with Thee.
