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.

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?
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.

Old song. We hardly sing these beautiful hymns any more. We must teach the younger generation this song.
i already know it
A beautiful song of awareness. We all need to be reminded of history, so we can be aware of the time we are now living in
I heard this is an old song, but it has been so new and timely for me. This becomes one of my favorite hymnals now.
