186 ~ 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.
Refrain
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 sorrow I have been wandering many years, Still looking for that happy morrow When God would wipe away my tears.
3
Oftimes 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 longer I must these many woes endure; Then let my faith and hope grow stronger; My Father's promise still is sure.
