March 24th's Traveling toward Sunrise:
"...After He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, (He) sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting..." Hebrews 10:12,13
He expecteth, He expecteth! Down the stream of time
Still the words come softly ringing like a chime.
Ofttimes faint, now waxing louder, as the hour draws near
When the King in all His glory shall appear.
He is waiting with long patience for His crowning day,
For that Kingdom which shall never pass away,
And till every tribe and nation bow before His throne,
He expecteth loyal service from His own.
He expecteth- but He heareth still the bitter cry
From earth's millions, "Come and help us for we die."
He expecteth- doth He see us busy here and there,
Heedless of those pleading accents of despair?
Shall we-dare we disappoint Him? Brethren let us rise!
He who died for us is watching from the skies;
Watching till His royal banner floateth far and wide,
Till He seeth of His travail satisfied!
