Only Waiting

Author: Mrs. F. L. Mace Appears in 107 hymnals First Line: Only waiting till the shadows Refrain First Line: Only waiting till the shadows Lyrics: 1. Only waiting till the shadows Are a little longer grown; Only waiting till the glimmer Of the day's last beam has flown; Till the night of earth is faded From the heart once full of day, Till the stars of heaven are breaking Thro' the twilight soft and gray. Chorus: Only waiting till the shadows Are a little longer grown; Only waiting till the glimmer Of the day's last beam is flown. 2. Only waiting till the angels Open wide the mystic gate, At whose feet I long have waited, Weary, poor, and desolate. Even now I hear their footsteps And their voices far away; If they call me, I am waiting, Only waiting to obey. [Chorus] 3. Only waiting till the reapers Shall the ripe sheaves gather home; For the summer time is faded, And the autumn leaves have come. Quickly, reapers, quickly gather Those who with expectant heart, For thy coming long have waited; They are eager to depart. [Chorus] 4. Waiting for a brighter dwelling Than I ever yet have seen, Where the Tree of Life is blooming, And the fields are ever green; Waiting for my full redemption, When my Saviour shall restore All that sin has caused to wither; Shall restore to change no more. [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:7 Used With Tune: [Only waiting till the shadows]

Chorus: Is not this the land of Beulah, Blessed, blessed land of light, Where the flowers bloom forever, And the sun is always bright. 2.

I am drinking at the fountain, Where I ever would abide; For I've tasted life's pure river, And my soul is satisfied; There's no thirsting for life's pleasures, Nor adorning, rich and gay; For I've found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away. [Chorus] 4. Tell me not of heavy crosses, Nor of burdens hard to bear; For I've found this great salvation, Makes each burden light appear; And I love to follow Jesus, Gladly counting all but dross, Worldly honors all forsaking, For the glory of the Cross. [Chorus] 5. Oh! the Cross has wondrous glory! Oft I've prov'd this to be true; When I'm in the way so narrow, I can see a pathway through; And how sweetly Jesus whispers: "Take the Cross, thou need'st not fear; For I've tried this way before thee, And the glory lingers near." [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I am dwelling on the mountain]
