15931. I Wait For Thee, O Lord

1 I wait for Thee, O Lord!
Thy glorious face to see,
That holy face that once was marred
Was marred, O Lord, for me.

2 I wait for Thee, O Lord!
Before Thy feet to fall,
To worship lowly and adore
My Savior, all in all.

3 I wait for Thee, O Lord!
Thy loving hand to feel,
Whose tender touch can even now
The wounded spirit heal.

4 I wait for Thee, O Lord!
Thy rapture deep to know,
Of living evermore with Thee,
Love can not more bestow.

5 I wait for Thee, O Lord!
But for a little while;
This night my longing eyes may meet
Thy joyful, welcome smile.
