A Song of Praise

O the riches of your mercy,
O the fullness of your grace,
Saving, loving, and redeeming -
How I long to see your face.

Gracious love - eternal blessings
On your precious people pour.
You will keep them safe forever
And will bless for evermore.

Precious promise of your coming
Gives me hope and joy to live;
You will not forsake your people -
You your life for them did give.

I am waiting, I am waiting
And I pray it won't be long
'Till I stand amid the glory
Of the angels' heav'nly throng.

Singing praise and Alleluia
To my Lord and King of kings,
Eternal Father, Word, and Spirit
To Thee alone all heaven sings.
