Undertake for Me

As those that watch for the day

Tune: [As those that watch for the day]
Published in 2 hymnals

Representative Text

1 As those that watch for the day,
Thro' the long, long night of grief,
When the soul can only pray,
That the day may bring relief;
When the eyes with weeping spent,
No dawn of hope can see,
But the heart keeps watch intent,
So waiteth my soul for thee,
So waiteth my soul for thee.

2 As those that watch for the day,
Thro' that deepest night of all,
When trembling, and sin have sway,
And the shades of thy absence fall;
As they search thro' clouds of fear,
The morning star to see,
Because Thou hast promised to bless,
So waiteth my soul for thee,
So waiteth my soul for thee.

3 As those that watch for the day,
And know that the day will rise,
Tho' the weary hours delay,
As they pass under midnight skies;
Tho' the sun of righteousness,
Only faith's eye can see,
Because Thou hast promised to blest,
Lord Jesus I wait for thee,
Lord Jesus I wait for thee.
