Author: Franklin Edson Belden Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12484 First Line: Thou art coming, my Beloved Refrain First Line: We are waiting, we are watching Lyrics: 1 Thou art coming, my Belovèd, Thou art coming once again; Not a man of tears and sorrows, But a king of kings to reign; And to rule in regal splendor Where such sorrow pierced Thy heart, Can it be, Thou best Belovèd, Coming, never to depart? Refrain: We are waiting, we are watching, We are waiting, we are watching, For the coming of the Lord; We are waiting, we are watching, We are waiting, we are watching, For the coming of the Lord. 2 We are waiting, we are watching, For the coming of Thy feet, With our hearts aflame with glory, Waiting at the mercy seat; And tho’ winds and waves chastise us, While on life’s tempestuous sea, We would surely sink and perish But for hope of seeing Thee. [Refrain] 3 Blessèd hope that makes the desert Now to blossom as the rose; In the rough and rugged places, Still our hearts doth find repose, In the hope that we shall see Thee, And shall lean upon Thy breast, And then reign with Thee forever In the land of perfect rest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou art coming, my Beloved]

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Person Name: Franklin Edson Belden Author of "Thou Art Coming" in The Cyber Hymnal Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
