There’s a season coming and it won’t be late
When the Father’s favour we’ll see,
Humble saints who for justice wait
Do so patiently;
Though we’re richly blessed in the depth of our soul
By the true King we have crowned,
We’ll weep no more when we reach the goal –
Mount Zion’s sacred mound!
In His loving care we have known our share
Of affliction’s watery balm;
No need to wonder who our teachers are,
Heavenly manna won’t harm;
In your heart confess you have been seduced
By idols of silver and gold;
Let the grace and beauty of God reduce
The hideous power they hold!
Halt if you stumble to the left or right
Listen, you will hear Him say,
‘Fix your eye on the path and keep your footsteps straight;
This is indeed the true and everlasting way’.
Summer rain shall tumble as you scatter your seed,
He will brighten up your night and day;
Your fields He’ll fill where the cattle feed
When you sanctify your way;
Working beasts will feast on cured fodder which
Has been winnowed with the shovel and fan;
Refreshing streams will mountains reach
When He topples over towers of man….
In that Day’s sweet fury when the hand of the Lord
Is triggered like a smoking gun
Moonlight beams shall illumine the world
Brighter than the mid-day sun;
Then the bruise of faithful, patient saints
Shall be soothingly be bound
Unseen hands will unloosen chains
From the torment of their wound!
Halt if you stumble to the left or right
Listen, you will hear Him say,
‘Fix your eye on the path and keep your footsteps straight;
This is indeed the true and everlasting way’.
With a raging heat fierce fire will fall
Bridling every creaturely plan
No back now up against the wall
Will hesitate to sing His song!
For the voice of Christ from on high His foes
Wholly beaten down, will slay
‘Gainst the solemn sound of midnight choirs
Summoning a brand new Day!
Halt if you stumble to the left or right
Listen, you will hear Him say,
‘Fix your eye on the path and keep your footsteps straight;
This is indeed the true and everlasting way’.
