This is the Man for
whom our hearts are waiting:
The Man who is the
Lord Jesus Christ Saviour,
Who will effect the
final transformation
Of these, the bodies
of our humiliation
To be like His in
final conformation
According to His
power for subjugation.
And while that
moment is still anticipated
We grow in knowledge
of all His undertakings
But, more than that,
of His abundant graces,
Seeking to keep the
word of Jesus' patience,
Craving perfection
of partly known relations:
To Him be glory
throughout eternal ages!
This comes from, "for *our* commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour", the '[as]' being an addition to clarify, and it has been suggested that the whole really is one title.
The man for whom our hearts are waiting - I love that line!!
