I Am Waiting For The Dawning

Verse 1A

I am waiting for the dawning Of the bright and blessèd day, When the darksome night of sorrow Shall have vanished far away—

Verse 1B

When for ever with the Savior, Far beyond this vale of tears, I shall swell the song of worship Through the everlasting years, Through the everlasting years.

Verse 2A

I am looking at the brightness— See, it shineth from afar— Of the clear and joyous beaming Of the Bright and Morning Star.

Verse 2B

Through the dark gray mist of morning Do I see its glorious light; Then away with every shadow Of this sad and weary night, Of this sad and weary night.

Verse 3A

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.

Verse 3B

I can almost hear His footfall, On the threshold of the door, And my heart, my heart is longing, To be with Him evermore, To be with Him evermore.
