Looking for that Blessed Hope
1. O shout aloud the tidings, Repeat the joyful strain; Let all the waiting nations This message hear again; The spotless Lamb of glory, Who once for man was slain, Soon o'er all the earth shall reign. Looking for that blessed hope,
Looking for that blessed hope; We know the hour is nearing, The hour of His appearing: for that blessed hope.
2. Signs in the heav'n above us, In sun and moon and sky, Proclaim to all the faithful Redemption draweth nigh; The hearts of men are quaking And failing them for fear: Jesus' coming draweth near. Looking for that blessed hope,
Looking for that blessed hope; We know the hour is nearing, The hour of His appearing: for that blessed hope.
3. We'll watch for His returning With lamps well trimmed and bright; He cometh to the careless As thieves break thro' at night; "Well done, thou good and faithful" O may we hear the word, "Share the joy of Christ thy Lord." Looking for that blessed hope,
Looking for that blessed hope; We know the hour is nearing, The hour of His appearing: for that blessed hope.
