And is His coming still afar,
 * Or is the vision nearing?

I only know I’ve heard His voice,
 * And wait for His appearing.

And will the kingdom be of earth,
 * Or in some constellation?—

Enough for me that Christ Himself.
 * Is founder and foundation.

Lord, answer me just how Thou wilt—
 * Here or beyond the river.—

It is enough that “I am Thine,
 * And Thou art mine forever.”
