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 !
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!
2. Long in darkness waiting, weary, sad, and lone, How I long Thy glorious face to see! O Thou blessed Jesus, make me al! Thine own ; Speak the word, and Thou canst set me free !
3. Weary with my blindness, waiting all the day, [pain ; Weary with my sorrow and my O Thou Son of David, pass me not, I pray : Leave me not in hopeless night again!
4. 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
