It will be no tautology to say, This is our God, we have waited for him.
Indeed when wee come to enjoy the performance of Gods gracious promises, if we should live to see the fulnesse of the Gentiles come, and Jewes called, wee should speake of it againe, and againe: Affections are large, and few expressions will not serve for large affections.

Beloved, times are yet to come which may much affect the hearts of the Children of God. Howsoever we may not live to see the performance of these things, yet we shall all live to see that day of Judgement, and then we shall say, This is our God, we have waited for him. We now see God in the Promises, and then we shall see him face to face whom we have waited for in the Promises, and we shall see him in heaven for ever.
