My Soul is Waiting
Author: F. G. Burroughs Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: My soul for the Saviour is waiting Lyrics: 1 My soul for the Saviour is waiting,—
Ah! long has he waited for me;
Yea, stood in the night dews unheeded,
While I was unmoved by his plea.
Then is it to show me his anguish
My soul is kept waiting for him?
So long have I doubted his mercy,
The eyes of my faith became dim.
2 My soul for the Saviour is waiting,
In grief I am bowed at his cross;
My sins are a burden too heavy,
Beneath them I sink in remorse.
Oh, is he but waiting to test me,
Or is he e’en now at my side?
Dear Saviour, I pray thee to enter,
The door of my heart opens wide.
3 My soul for the Saviour is waiting,—
But truly his word cannot fail;
The cry of a penitent sinner
Must reach him, and reaching, prevail.
Now will I confide in his promise,
That coming I am not cast out,—
And tho’ I may wait for the vision,
His pardon no longer I doubt. Used With Tune: [My soul for the Saviour is waiting]

Sweet Land of Rest
Appears in 610 hymnals First Line: Sweet land of rest, for thee I sigh Lyrics: 1 Sweet land of rest, for thee I sigh!
When will the moment come,
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell with Christ at home,
And dwell with Christ at home
And dwell with Christ at home;
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell with Christ at home.
2 No tranquil joys on earth I know,
No peaceful sheltering dome;
This world's a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home,
This world is not my home;
This world is not my home
This world's a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.
3 To Jesus Christ I fled for rest,
He bade me cease to roam;
But fly for succor to his breast
And he’d conduct me home,
And he'd conduct me home;
And he'd conduct me home,
But fly for succor to his breast
And he'd conduct me home.
4 Weary of wand’ring round and round
This vale of sin and gloom,
I long to leave th’unhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home,
And dwell with Christ at home;
And dwell with Christ at home,
I long to leave th'unhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home. Used With Tune: [Sweet land of rest, for thee I sigh]
