S. T. Francis (284/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

S. T. Francis I AM waiting for the dawning Of the bright and blessed day, When the darksome night of sorrow Shall have vanished far away: When, forever with the Saviour, Far beyond this vale of tears, I shall swell the song of worship Through the everlasting years. 2 I am looking at the brightness See, it shineth from afar; Of the clear and joyous beaming Of the bright and morning Star. Through the dark grey mist of morning Do I see its glorious light; Then away with every shadow Of this sad and weary night. 3 I am waiting for the coming Of the Lord who died for me; Oh, His words have thrilled my spirit, “I will come again for thee.” I can almost hear His footfall, On the threshold of the door, And my heart, my heart is longing To be with Him evermore.
