Only Waiting
Author: Mrs. F. L. Mace Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #133 (1888) First Line: Only waiting till the shadows Refrain First Line: Only waiting till the shadows Lyrics: 1. Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam has flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full of day,
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Thro' the twilight soft and gray.
Chorus:
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown.
2. Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet I long have waited,
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]
3. Only waiting till the reapers
Shall the ripe sheaves gather home;
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn leaves have come.
Quickly, reapers, quickly gather
Those who with expectant heart,
For thy coming long have waited;
They are eager to depart. [Chorus]
4. Waiting for a brighter dwelling
Than I ever yet have seen,
Where the Tree of Life is blooming,
And the fields are ever green;
Waiting for my full redemption,
When my Saviour shall restore
All that sin has caused to wither;
Shall restore to change no more. [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:7 Tune Title: [Only waiting till the shadows]

Hymnal: Kind Words #31 (1871) 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]

1856 - 1932 Arranger of "[Only waiting, till the shadows]" in Triumphant Songs Nos. 3 and 4 Combined Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree
=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
