I Wait for Thee, O Lord

I wait for Thee

O Lord!

Thy glo­ri­ous face to see

That ho­ly face that once was marred

Was marred

O Lord

for me.

I wait for Thee

O Lord!

Before Thy feet to fall

To wor­ship low­ly and ad­ore

My Sav­ior

all in all.

I wait for Thee

O Lord!

Thy lov­ing hand to feel

Whose ten­der touch can ev­en now

The wound­ed spir­it heal.

I wait for Thee

O Lord!

Thy rap­ture deep to know

Of liv­ing ev­er­more with Thee

Love can not more be­stow.

I wait for Thee

O Lord!

But for a lit­tle while;

This night my long­ing eyes may meet

Thy joy­ful

wel­come smile.
