SS & S 37
Verse1
Sitting by the wayside, sinful, weak, and blind,
Waiting in my darkness for the day,
O Thou Saviour, Jesus, merciful and kind,
Hear me now, and take my sins away!
[[Chorus]]
No one knows my sorrow, no one cares for me
Waiting in the darkness for the day;
Hear a sinner pleading, pleading, Lord, with Thee
Jesus, come and take my sins away!
Verse2
Long in darkness waiting, weary, sad, and lone,
How I long Thy glorious face to see!
O Thou blessed Jesus, make me all Thine own;
Speak the word, and Thou canst set me free!
Verse3
Weary with my blindness, waiting all the day,
Weary with my sorrow and my pain;
O Thou Son of David, pass me not, I pray:
Leave me not in hopeless night again!
Verse4
Sitting by the wayside, sinful, weak, and blind,
Is there any hope for one like me ?
Something seems to whisper in my darkened mind,
“Christ has power to set the sinner free.”
