Waiting, Calmly Waiting
Waiting, Calmly Waiting
Author: Frank B. Copp Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I am waiting, calmly waiting Refrain First Line: I am waiting, calmly waiting Lyrics: 1 I am waiting, calmly waiting,
While on Heaven meditating,
And the years so slowly aging,
In the dreary wastes of life;
I see mansions past the river,
Where the sunbeams ever quiver
On the strand where mortals never
Mingle more in hate or strife.
Refrain:
I am waiting, calmly waiting,
For my home beyond the skies.
I am waiting, calmly waiting,
I am waiting for the prize.
2 I have heard the mystic voices,
Rising high above the noises,
Made by those whose blinded senses
Prate of "higher life" below;
I have learned to know how hollow
Are the substances they follow;
I am sick of all their folly,
And am waiting now to go. [Refrain]
3 Life is but a field of battle,
Spite of all the senseless prattle,
Of its usefulness and glory,
Where the best are always slain;
Where the bravest are no winners,
And the noblest only sinners,
Where the incense that we offer
Rises constantly in vain. [Refrain]
4 I am sick of wrongs inflicted,
Where defense is interdicted,
While I sit with lips unopened,
As my foes around me rave;
I would close my eyes forever,
I would all life’s linkings sever,
For I know there’s truth and justice
For us all beyond the grave. [Refrain]
