Hymnal: Joy to the World #55 (1879) Hymnal Title: Joy to the World First Line: I am waiting, O my Father Refrain First Line: I am waiting for thy footstep Lyrics: 1 I am waiting, O my Father
For the coming of the light,
For the sunshine of thy presence,
That shall lift the clouds of night.
Chorus:
I am waiting for thy footstep,
As it comes toward my door;
O my Father, enter quickly,
Leave me never, never more.
2 I am waiting, blessed Savior,
Let thy presence light my way,
Let thy loving hand e'er lead me,
Let me never from thee stray, [Chorus]
3 I am waiting; Lord, why tarry?
Enter quick the open door,
Let me feel that thou art with me,
And I ask for nothing more. [Chorus]
4 I am waiting, O my Father,
Yet I see the coming light.
Yet I feel thy tender presence,
Never more shall it be night. [Chorus]
