Lord, While We Wait The Moment

Lord, while we wait the moment When we shall see Thy face, We daily prove the sweetness Of Thy sustaining grace; Yea, daily find the comfort Of Thine unfailing love, Till we shall know its fullness When with Thee, Lord, above.
And yet while in the desert, What lessons do we learn, As on our homeward journey Thou mak’st our hearts to burn! The living water flowing From life’s perennial spring, The daily manna coming, Fresh praises daily bring.
And oh, what loud thanksgiving Shall fill that home of love, As we survey the pathway Which led to Thee above! There in the light unsullied We’ll see how great Thy care, Which watched our every footstep, Till we Thy rest should share. —Frances George Burkitt (1864–1929)
