I'm Waiting for Thee

Verse 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.

Chorus

The shadows are stretching afar o’er the lea, Then oh! let me anchor beyond the dark sea.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
