They That Wait Upon the Lord
Isaiah 40:31
THEY THAT WAIT  |  Bible Passage
Author: G. M. J. 19th Century
Musician: James McGranahan, 1840-1907

Ho, reapers in the whitened harvest!
Oft feeble, faint, and few;
Come, wait upon the blessed Master,
Our strength He will renew.

Refrain:
For "They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings,
They shall mount up with wings as eagles:
They shall run and not be weary;
They shall walk and not faint;
They shall run and not be weary;
They shall walk and not faint;
They shall run and not be weary,
shall walk and not faint."

Too oft a-weary and discouraged,
We pour a sad complaint;
Believing in a living Saviour,
Why should we ever faint?

Rejoice! for He is with us alway,
Lo, even to the end!
Look up! take courage and go forward.
All needed grace He'll send!


BIBLE PASSAGE:

31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
