Long for my Saviour I've been waiting
1
Long for my Saviour I've been waiting,Long time have watched by night and day;Feared, lest my faith and hope abating,I should lose courage by the way.
Chorus.
Jesus soon is coming;This is my song;—Cheers the heart when joys depart,And foes are pressing strong.
2
Here in this vale of sin and sorrowI have been wandering many years,Still looking for that happy morrowWhen God would wipe away my tears.
3
Ofttimes 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.
4
O it will be but little longerI must these many woes endure;Then let my faith and hope grow stronger;My Father's promise still is sure.
