The Spirit Is Waiting

lyricist: Dwight Williams, 1896
Composer: James Murray

The Spir­it is wait­ing

Invite Him to­day

To en­ter thy heart

And abide there al­way;

Believe Him

re­ceive Him

Thy dear lov­ing guest

Thy pro­mise and por­tion

Thy bless­ing and rest.

The Spir­it is wait­ing

The Spir­it is wait­ing

Receive Him

be­lieve Him

Thy dear lov­ing guest.

Secure in His keep­ing

Thy heart shall re­joice;

He calls thee and woos thee

Oh

make Him thy choice;

Believe Him

re­ceive Him

Thy trea­sure loved best

The Com­fort­er wait­eth

Thy bless­ing and rest.

The joy of the morn­ing

Receive in thy heart

He long­eth to en­ter

And no more de­part;

He knows thee and loves thee

Oh

leave thy re­quest

And wait for His full­ness

Of bless­ing and rest.
