Wait on the Lord
Wait here in quiet
Wait on the Lord
Wait here in silence
He will not grow faint,
He will not grow cold
Through the dark of night
His saints, he’ll hold
Wait on the Lord
Wait here in quiet
Wait on the Lord
Wait here in silence
Jesus is our rest,
We’ll forever sing
Oh his crown has bowed
All other kings
Jesus is our rest,
And to him we’ll cling
Oh his blood has quieted
all things
Wait on the Lord
Wait here in quiet
Wait on the Lord
Wait here in silence

In the desert Hagar’s well ran dry
Shadows round her, despair on all sides
Thirsty soul, heartbreak
“Did I trust by mistake?”
Then she heard the Lord call in the night
Wherever you come from
Wherever you’re going
There’s rest for the sojourn, a table for you
I see the beaten, the broken, forgotten
Come pilgrim rest, a table for you
In the house of the LORD Hannah sighed
Tears for food, drunk with grief in the night
Grieved and mocked is the tomb
Of a long-barren womb
So she called on the LORD of the fight
Wherever you come from
Wherever you’re going
There’s rest for the sojourn, a table for you
I see the beaten, the broken, forgotten
Come pilgrim rest, a table for you
In the tomb there’s no corpse in her sight
Mary crushed, was he taken in spite?
Precious body she needs
Just to hold as she weeps
So she cries to the Lord of her life
In the garden He comes to our side
Speaks our names, He now brings us to life
Broken hearts, now are freed
From all terror and grief
And so all that is dead comes to life
Wherever you come from
Wherever you’re going
There’s rest for the sojourn, a table for you
I see the beaten, the broken, forgotten
Come pilgrim rest, a table for you

Sweeping across chaotic waters
Building an ark for sons and daughters
Saving your people through the sea
Crossing the river to milk and honey
All praise to you the fount of every blessing
For bringing water from the rock, life-giving
For bringing us up from the river’s depths
We give thanks o'er the water
Then your salvation came to bloom
Nurtured in the water of a womb
Baptized in that river that Israel crossed
Called to sink and rise for the lost
All praise to you the fount of every blessing
For bringing water from the rock, life-giving
For bringing us up from the river’s depths
We give thanks o'er the water
Now pour out on us your Holy Spirit
Bless the water when we receive it
Wash away our guilty stains
And clothe us to live with him who reigns
All praise to you the fount of every blessing
For bringing water from the rock, life-giving
For bringing us up from the river’s depths
We give thanks o'er the water
All Praise to you Eternal Father God,
Through your son Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who with you and the Holy Spirit
Lives and reigns forever!
We give thanks o'er the water
Who lives and reigns forever

Out of depths I cry to you
Turn your ear and hear my voice
Out of depths I call to you
Hear my cry for mercy
I wait for you, my Lord, my God
more than watchmen for the morn
In your word I put my hope
I wait for you, O God
If you, Lord, record my sins
I am crushed down by their weight
But forgiveness comes from you,
So that I may live and serve
I wait for you, my Lord, my God
more than watchmen for the morn
In your word I put my hope
I wait for you, O God
All Saints, put your hope in Christ
For He is unfailing love
In him is redemption full
Salvage from all our sin

Why do you hide, LORD?
Turn your face away?
Veil your gaze?
Why take your leave, LORD?
And abandon me?
LORD you flee
Return and deliver me, my God
Hear my cry
Open your eyes, look on my life,
Or I die
I bear my pain, LORD,
Suffering alone
LORD I groan
My foes, they arise, LORD:
I fall at their might
And in that they delight
Return and deliver me, my God
Hear my cry.
Open your eyes, look on my life,
Or I die
Yet I have hope, LORD,
In your true embrace
I will know grace

Salvation unto us has come
by God’s free grace and favor.
Our works cannot avert our doom;
the law can save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
who for his people did atone;
he is our one Redeemer.
What God did in his law demand
and none to him could render
caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand
for man, the vile offender.
Our flesh has not the pure desires
God's holy law of us requires,
and lost is our condition.
Yet as the law must be fulfilled
or we must die despairing,
Christ Jesus came; God’s wrath he stilled,
our human nature sharing.
The law he has for us obeyed
and thus the Father’s vengeance stayed
which over us had rulèd.
All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
to Father, Son, and Spirit,
the God who saved us by his grace--
all glory to his merit!
O triune God in heav’n above,
who has revealed your saving love,
your blessèd name be hallowed.

Be known to us in breaking bread,
but do not then depart;
Savior, abide with us, and spread
your table in our heart.
Thy body, broken for my sake,
my bread from heaven shall be;
thy cup of blessing I will take,
and thus remember thee.
Here share with us, in love divine,
your body and your blood,
that living bread, that heavenly wine
be our immortal food,
be our immortal food,
be our immortal food!
