| 1 My soul for the Saviour is waiting,— Ah! long has he waited for me; Yea, stood in the night dews unheeded, While I was unmoved by his plea. Then is it to show me his anguish My soul is kept waiting for him? So long have I doubted his mercy, The eyes of my faith became dim. 2 My soul for the Saviour is waiting, In grief I am bowed at his cross; My sins are a burden too heavy, Beneath them I sink in remorse. Oh, is he but waiting to test me, Or is he e’en now at my side? Dear Saviour, I pray thee to enter, The door of my heart opens wide. 3 My soul for the Saviour is waiting,— But truly his word cannot fail; The cry of a penitent sinner Must reach him, and reaching, prevail. Now will I confide in his promise, That coming I am not cast out,— And tho’ I may wait for the vision, His pardon no longer I doubt. | Joyful Sound: a collection of new hymns and music with familiar selections #42 (1889) |
