Author: Rev. C. L. Thompson Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Tired the feet in the marching Refrain First Line: I wait for the coming of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Tired the feet in the marching, For the road has been dark and long, Weary the hands of the working, And weak the heart that was strong. I wait for the coming of Jesus, Mid shadows that gather and fall; And wonder, so weary and waiting, Has Jesus forgotten to call. 2 The crosses have scarr’d the shoulders, The tears have furrow’d the face; The eyes are dim with their watching, Times haggar’d and heavy pace. I wait for the coming of Jesus, Mid shadows that gather and fall; And wonder, so weary and waiting, Has Jesus forgotten to call. 3 The dear ones are over the river, My home in heaven is full; And the home below is empty, And the lights burn dim and dull. I wait for the coming of Jesus, Mid shadows that gather and fall; And wonder, so weary and waiting, Has Jesus forgotten to call. 4 Oh, heart, mid thy fear and doubting, Thy homesick longing and pain, Remember the words of the Master, I, Jesus, will come again. I wait for the coming of Jesus, Mid shadows that gather and fall; And know with exultant rapture; My Savior is coming to call. Used With Tune: [Tired the feet in the marching]
