Only Waiting

I am wait­ing for the morn­ing

Of the bless­èd day to dawn

When the sor­row and the sad­ness

Of this change­ful life are gone.

I am wait­ing

on­ly wait­ing

Till this wea­ry life is o’er;

Only wait­ing for my wel­come

From my Sav­ior 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.

Waiting

hop­ing

trust­ing ev­er

For a home of bound­less love;

Like a pil­grim

look­ing for­ward

To the land of bliss above.

Hoping soon to meet the loved ones

Where the ma­ny man­sions be;

Listening for the hap­py wel­come

Of my Sav­ior call­ing me.
