Lord Jesus, I am waiting To meet You in the air; Apart from Your soon advent There is no other prayer. My hope is Your returning, Your nearness I can feel; I feel Your ’biding presence In spirit now so real. |

Now in my deepest being Your speaking I can hear; Your plan revealed in secret My thankful heart does cheer. You are a moment nearer! I sense Your coming face; The day of grace now shorter Soon Satan to displace. |

Sever all cares that bind me That I may be so free; I’ll be with You transcendent; Begone captivity! From things permissive loose me, Lax snares that in me grow, Lest when You come to greet me, I cannot freely go. |

Each hour watching, ready, This is my heart’s desire; So not to miss that rapture, My spirit set afire, Lest by my slumber taking, Not ready for Your call, I miss Your face, unworthy To leave this earthly ball. |

Unto this heart speak freshly A warning serious: Why trade the kingdom’s glory For things not glorious? Love Him with heart o’erflowing, His coming fully mind; Turn loose at every moment The earthly things you find. |

Though fierce might be the fighting, Vile spirits all around, Fear not such threat; be ready To leave this foreign ground. Though darkness is increasing, Redemption’s day is near; Lift up your head, for surely Our Lord will soon appear. |

Lord, may I love You only, Lord, be my only thought, Rejecting this world’s bribing, The One in heaven sought. All earth’s attachments loosen, Dear Lord, delay no more; I long to greet Your coming, The One whom I adore. |
