The righteous yearned to see,
Has in these last of days appeared
In its reality.
’Tis the completion of all the ages.
All those who believed the promise
Are perfected now in us.
Our ears, how blessed to hear;
Things angels ne'er could look into
Are now to us made clear.
His grace, how free to take;
Encouraging the others on,
Run for the kingdom's sake.
It makes our joy complete;
For this we know, around the bend,
The Lord we'll surely meet.
