596. Look for the Waymarks

C
Look for the way-marks as you journey on,

Am                     G
Look for the way-marks passing one by one;

C                      F                 Dm
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four—

C            F     Dm   G7                 C
Where are we stand-ing? Look the way-marks o’er.

C                           Am              E
Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks,

F                      G
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.

C                          Am              Dm
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks;

    C            G7   C
The journey’s al-most o’er.



[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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.

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
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?

[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.
