| Text: | Only waiting |
| Author: | W. G. Irvin |
| Tune: | [I am waiting for the morning] |
| Composer: | J. H. Fillmore |
1 I am waiting for the morning
Of the blessed day to dawn,
When the sorrow and the sadness
Of this fearful life are gone.
Chorus:
I am waiting, only waiting,
Till this weary life is o'er,
Only waiting for my welcome,
From my Saviour on the other shore.
2 I am waiting, worn and weary,
With the battle and the strife,
Hoping, when the war has ended,
To receive a crown of life. [Chorus]
3 Waiting, hoping, trusting ever,
For a home of boundless love,
Like a pilgrim looking forward,
To the land of bliss above. [Chorus]
4 Waiting for the sun to cheer me
With his pure, unmingled light,
Waiting for the saints to greet me,
In their robes of spotless white. [Chorus]
