Irvin Appears in 49 hymnals First Line: I am waiting for the morning Lyrics: 1 I am waiting for the morning Of the blessed day to dawn, When the sorrow and the sadness Of this fearful life are gone. Refrain: I am waiting, only waiting, , Till this weary life is o'er, Only waiting for my welcome, From my Savior on the other shore. 2 I am waiting, worn and weary, With the battle and the strife, Hoping, when the war is ended, To receive a crown of life. [Refrain] 3 Waiting, hoping, trusting ever, For a home of boundless love, Like a pilgrim looking forward To the land of bliss above. [Refrain] 4 Waiting for the sun to cheer me With his pure, unmingled light, Waiting for the saints to greet me In their robes of spotless white. [Refrain] Scripture: Philippians 1:23 Used With Tune: [I am waiting for the morning]
