Waiting with Joyful Hearts

Author: Ada Blenkhorn Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Waiting with joyful hearts to hear our blessed Lord’s command Refrain First Line: Waiting for our Lord's command Lyrics: 1 Waiting with joyful hearts to hear our blessed Lord’s command, Ready beneath the banner of his cross to take our stand; Following in his steps thro’ cloudless day or darkest night, Loyal and true to him amid the thickest of the fight. Refrain: Waiting for our Lord’s command, Ready by his cross to stand, Walking in the steps of Jesus To the promised land. 2 Keeping the blood-stained cross and victor’s crown before our view, Praying for grace and strength the conflict daily to renew; Forward we press, that we at last may win the glorious prize Jesus will give to all his faithful ones beyond the skies. [Refrain] 3 Knowing the God of battles will his soldiers true defend, Trusting his promise that he will be with us to the end; We will endure as seeing him who doth our place prepare, Where we shall see him face to face, and all his glory share. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Waiting with joyful hearts to hear]
