Jesus, I Wait

I’m wea­ry in this vale of woe

Of sor­row ev­ery­where I go

But faith makes glad the dark­est sky

By whis­per­ing

He is nigh.

I’m wait­ing on­ly for Thy call

My gra­cious Lord

my life

my all;

To joys be­yond the gold­en gates

Dear Je­sus

Lord

I wait.

Some time the sha­dows thick and fast

Upon my sun­lit skies are cast;

Then whis­pers

hope

for­ev­er bright

Beyond the cloud is light.

Oft times I feel my sin­ful load

Too heavy on life’s wea­ry road;

Then whis­pers love

in sweet re­frain

Trust

wea­ry heart

again.
