#141WAITING FOR JESUS
Hymn Display
1
LONG for my Saviour I've been waiting,
Longtime have watched by night and day;
Feared, lest my faith and hope abating,
I should lose courage by the way.
2
Here in this vale of sin and sorrow,
I have been wandering many years;
Still looking for that happy morrow,
When God would wipe away my tears.
Jesus soon is coming, &c.
3
Oft times the Tempter comes in power,
Fain then would lead my steps astray;
But when the clouds begin to lower,
Hope turns the darkness into day.
Jesus soon is coming, &c.
4
O, it will be but little longer,
I must these many woes endure;
Then let my faith and hope grow stronger,
My Father's promise still is sure.
Jesus soon is coming, &c.
C
Chorus
Jesus soon is coming;
This is my song—
Cheers the heart when joys depart,
And foes are pressing strong.
