Look for the Way-Marks
Look for the way-marks as you journey on,
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.
Chorus.
Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks,Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.Look for the way-marks, 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 to-day?

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.
