Hymnal: Kind Words #31 (1871) Hymnal Title: Kind Words First Line: Only waiting till the shadows Refrain First Line: Here we are waiting, only waiting Lyrics: 1 Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth has faded
From the heart once full of day;
Till the stars of heav'n are breaking
Thro' the twilight soft and gray.
Chorus:
Here we are waiting, only waiting
Till our time for rest shall come,
Working, watching, hoping, waiting,
Till our Father calls us home.
2 Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate
At whose threshold I have linger'd,
Weary, poor, and desolate.
Even now I hear their footsteps
And their voices far away:
If they call me, I am waiting,
Only waiting to obey. [Chorus]
