1. While waiting for the Lord!
(Mid foes and darkness still)
Truth, light and grace beam from the word,
My soul with joy to fill.
2. A Father’s gracious hand,
Whose love can never fail,
Upholds, sustains, and makes me stand,
Whatever foes assail.
3. For Jesus, by His death
Hath rent the veil in twain,
That while I draw this fleeting breath,
I might this blessing gain.
4. Till known as I am known,
Then still this grace afford;
Till I repeat before the throne ,
“For ever with the Lord.”
