Hymn 596
Look for the Waymarks
Verse 1
Look for the waymarks as you journey on,
Look for the waymarks passing one by one;
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four;
Where are we standing?
Look the waymarks o’er.
Look for the waymarks passing one by one;
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four;
Where are we standing?
Look the waymarks o’er.
Chorus
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic waymarks,
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the way marks, the great prophetic waymarks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the way marks, the great prophetic waymarks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
Verse 2
First, the Assyrian kingdom ruled the world,
Then MedoPersia’s banners were unfurled;
And after Greece held universal sway,
Rome seized the scepter;
Where are we today?
Then MedoPersia’s banners were unfurled;
And after Greece held universal sway,
Rome seized the scepter;
Where are we today?
Chorus
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic waymarks,
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the way marks, the great prophetic waymarks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the way marks, the great prophetic waymarks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
Verse 3
Down in the feet of iron and of clay,
Weak and divided, soon to pass away;
What will the next great, glorious drama be?
Christ and His coming,
And eternity.
Weak and divided, soon to pass away;
What will the next great, glorious drama be?
Christ and His coming,
And eternity.
Chorus
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic waymarks,
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the way marks, the great prophetic waymarks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the way marks, the great prophetic waymarks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
