Author: Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #98 (1908) Hymnal Title: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old First Line: I'm weary, I'm fainting, my day's work is done Lyrics: 1 I'm weary, I'm fainting, my day's work is done;
I'm watching and waiting for life's setting sun:
The shadows are stretching afar o'er the lea;
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea.
The shadows are stretching afar o'er the lea,
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea!
2 The cold surging billows that break at my feet,
Have lost all their terror, their music is sweet:
My Saviour is stilling the tempest for me;
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea.
The shadows are stretching afar o'er the lea,
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea!
3 Come, loving Redeemer, and take to Thy breast
The heart that is panting and sighing for rest:
My Saviour, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for Thee;
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea.
The shadows are stretching afar o'er the lea,
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea!
4 I'll lay my life's burden, O Lord, at Thy feet,
For lov'd ones are watching my spirit to greet:
The portals of glory are open for me;
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea.
The shadows are stretching afar o'er the lea,
Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea! Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: [I'm weary, I'm fainting, my day's work is done]
