 Text:
Waiting and watchful
For Thy return
To a world in confusion,
Weary with concern,
I shall not fall from
Ease nor from pain.
Faithful and fearless
I shall remain.

Still I await Thee
Savior and Friend.
In Thy love I find comfort
Now until the end.
Thy great Atonement
Loosed ev’ry chain;
Faithful and fearless
Thou didst remain.

When shall the day come,
Long prophesied?
When Thy glory reveals all
Deeds, no man can hide.
Burn ye the tares and
Gather Thy grain.
Faithful and fearless
I shall remain.
