596. Look for the Waymarks

Look for the way-marks as you journey on, Look for the way-marks passing one by one; Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four— Where are we standing? Look the way-marks o’er. Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks, Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four. Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks; The journey’s almost o’er. First, the Assyrian kingdom ruled the world, Then Medo-Persia’s banners were unfurled; And after Greece held universal sway, Rome seized the scepter—where are we today? Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks, Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four. Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks; The journey’s almost o’er. 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. Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks, Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four. Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks; The journey’s almost o’er.
