While He's Waiting

1 Love of love so wondrous,
Rich and free,
Now the King of Glory
A pardon offers thee.

Refrain:
While he’s waiting, pleading, knocking,
Let him in.

2 For thy heart he’s waited,
Days and years;
And thy sins, long hated,
Have caused him bitter tears.

3 Canst thou leave his pardon
Still unknown,
And forget the mercy
That unto thee he’s shown?

4 Soon the day is coming
When, alone,
Trembling or rejoicing,
Thou must his kingship own.

5 Ah! his love, unchanging,
Calls thee home,
And the gathering shadows
Bid thee no longer roam.
