Take Thy wait­ing peo­ple home.
To souls that in dark­ness
But on my lips a hap­py song,
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Hallelujah! I have found Him
An en­trance to gain.
An en­trance to gain.
Good shall the an­swer be.
Other birth­days die with men,
What and if the day is break­ing,
Awakes one loud Amen!

so long

Wait, from out the grave’s dark bed
Go bear the glad tid­ings!
Has come to take me to that blest—
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Entreated in vain,
Entreated in vain,
Thus tossed on stor­my sea;
Why the lone­some ev­er­green
When, from slum­bers deep awak­ing,
Our eyes so long have strained!
