Brother tell me, if you are nigh,
in a night of trial, despairing of life;
please remember always the name
that will come one day in splendor arrayed.
Tho the groom seems long delayed,
promises made he will not cast away;
keep a watch, don't lose the faith,
one day he'll come, wipe all tears away.
chorus
'cause a few more rolling suns at most
and then we shall sing of his grace
landed safe on heav'ns coast
In Jesus Christ, our hiding place
thorny troubles feel like your crown,
your hands filled by the cares of this town;
please remember, you've been remade;
cast your crown, with faithful hands praise.
