There’s a rest¤ing place at the throne of grace
Where we all may in¤¤ter¤cede.
And His mer¤cy claim in the Sav¤iour’s name;
There is grace for eve¤ry need.

Chorus:
We are wait¤ing, Wait¤ing at Thy feet,
Fa¤ther, hear our cry, we pray;
We are wait¤ing, wait¤ing in our weak¤ness, Lord.
Per¤fect Thou Thy strength to¤day.
wait¤ing, wait¤ing,

Oh, how much we’ve lost and been tem¤pest tossed,
Fail¤ing, Lord to seek ¤Thy face.
We have not pre¤vailed but in weak¤ness failed,
When we missed the se¤cret place.

Clothe us with Thy power in this hal¤lowed hour,
Wait¤ing at the mer¤¤cy seat.
For Thy¤self make room, let Thy zeal con¤sume
All our heart and lives com¤plete.

When we climb the mount we His glo¤ry see,
Far a¤bove the hu¤¤man plane.
From the world a¤part, speak¤ing heart to heart,
We the Mas¤ter’s im¤age gain.

To the place of rest for the soul op¤pressed,
Let us bold¤ly come ¤to¤day.
He will calm our fears and our spir¤its cheer,
He will teach us how to pray.
