THE TRIUMPHS OF THY CONQUERING POWER, by                    
First Line: Jesus! Thy church, with longing eyes
Last Line: The triumphs of thy conquering power.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus! Thy church, with longing eyes,
For Thine expected coming waits;
When will the promised light arise,
And glory beam from Zion's gates?

Ev'n now, when tempests round us fall,
And wintry clouds clouds o'ercast the sky,
Thy words with pleasure we recall,
And deem that our redemption's nigh.

Oh, come and reign o'er every land;
Let Satan from his throne be hurled;
All nations bow to Thy command,
And grace revive a dying world.

Teach us, in watchfulness and prayer,
To wait for the appointed hour;
And fit us, by Thy grace, to share
The triumphs of Thy conquering power.
