1 I am waiting for the dawning
Of the bright and blessed day,
When the darksome night of sorrow
Shall have vanished far away;
When forever with the Savior,
Far beyond this vale of tears,
I shall swell the song of worship
Thro’ the everlasting years.
2 I am looking at the brightness,
See, it shineth from afar,
Of the clear and joyous beaming
Of the Bright and Morning Star.
Thro’ the dark gray mist of morning
Do I see its glorious light;
Then away with ev’ry shadow
Of this sad and weary night.
3 I am waiting for the coming
Of the Lord who died for me;
Oh, His words have thrilled my spirit:
“I will come again for thee.”
I can almost hear His footfall
On the threshold of the door,
And my heart, my heart is longing
To be with Him evermore!
