Text: | I’m Waiting for Thee |
Author: | Mrs. R. N. Turner |
Tune: | [O, why dost thou linger so long] |
Composer: | Wm. J. Kirkpatrick |
1 O, why dost thou linger so long
Outside in the danger and cold?
Come home to the shelter and warmth,
Come home to the joy of the fold.
Refrain:
Come home, come home, I am calling today;
Come home, I am waiting for thee;
Come home, come home, to the arms of my love,
I am waiting, waiting for thee.
2 The light streameth out from the door,
Behold it and enter and live!
The service of love is most sweet;
And life everlasting I give. [Refrain]
3 Who comes to the fold of my care
Shall drink from the fountain of joy,
And works of devotion and love
His heart and his hands shall employ. [Refrain]
4 Then come without waiting or doubt,
Bring all of your burdens to me;
There’s rest in the shelter of home,
There’s rest and there’s comfort for thee. [Refrain]
