LyicsI AM waiting for the morning
Of the blessed day to dawn,
When the sorrow and the sadness
Of this changeful life are gone.--CHO.
Chorus.--I am waiting, only waiting,
Till this weary life is o'er;
Only waiting for my welcome,
From my Saviour on the other shore.
I am waiting; worn and weary
With the battle and the strife,
Hoping, when the warfare's over,
To receive a crown of life.--CHO.
Waiting, hoping, trusting ever,
For a home of boundless love;
Like a pilgrim, looking forward
To the land of bliss above.--CHO.
Hoping soon to meet the lov'd ones
Where the "many mansions" be;
List'ning for the happy welcome
Of my Saviour calling me.--CHO.
