Only waiting till the shadows

Author: Mrs. Frances L. Mace Appears in 107 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:7 Lyrics: 1 Only waiting till the shadows Are a little longer grown, Only waiting till the glimmer Of the day's last beam is flown, Till the night of death has faded From the heart once full of day, Till the stars of heaven are breaking Thro' the twilight soft and gray. 2 Only waiting till the reapers Have the last sheaf gathered home; For the summertime has faded, And the autumn winds have come. Quickly, reapers! gather quickly, All the ripe hours of my heart; For the bloom of life is withered, And I hasten to depart. 3 Only waiting till the angels Open wide the pearly gate, At whose portals long I've lingered, Weary, poor, and desolate: Even now I hear their footsteps, And their voices far away; If they call me, I am waiting, Only waiting to obey. 4 Waiting for a brighter dwelling Than I ever yet have seen, Where the tree of life is blooming, And the fields are ever green; Waiting for my full redemption, When my Saviour shall restore All that sin has caused to wither On this dreary, mortal shore.

Bowed with a burden none can weigh save Thee

Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:6 Lyrics: Bowed with a burden none can weigh save Thee, Strength of my life, on Thee I cast my care; My heart must prove its own infirmity, But what shall move me, if my God be there? O for a thankful song with every breath, While amid fading flowers and withering grass, I, with Thee, through the grave and gate of death, On to my joyful resurrection pass. Armed with the spirit of my Master's mind, How shall I spare a thought that He would slay? Lord I would leave those things which are behind, And press towards Heaven through all the narrow way. Bright be my prospect as I pass along; — An ardent service at the cost of all, — Love by untiring ministry made strong, And ready for the first, the softest call. Yes, God is faithful — and my lot is cast; O not myself to serve, my own to be! Light of my life, the darkness now is past, And I beneath the Cross can work for Thee.
