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!
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!
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!
Weary with my blindless,
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!
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!
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.�
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!
