The Waiting Savior

I am wait­ing at the por­tal;

Do not pass Me by!

Tho’ the cares of life are press­ing

Linger to re­ceive a bless­ing

Ere the night draws nigh.

At the por­tal

I am wait­ing

I am wait­ing still for thee;

At the por­tal I am wait­ing

Then come

O come to Me.

I am wait­ing at the por­tal;

Do I wait in vain?

Seeking on­ly earth­ly plea­sures

And re­ject­ing heav’n­ly trea­sures

Do not bring thee gain.

I am wait­ing at the por­tal

Patiently I wait;

In My Fa­ther’s name re­ceiv­ing

All who come to Me be­liev­ing

Ere it be too late.
