At the feet of Jesus waiting,
I have heard His sweet command,
Go and work within My vineyard,
Labor with thy heart and hand.
Refrain
I am waiting, always waiting,
Waiting now to do His will:
Waiting now to hear the message,
And my calling to fulfill.
At the feet of Jesus waiting,
Doing what He bids me do,
Toiling, suffering, and enduring,
For His grace will bear me through.
Refrain
At the feet of Jesus waiting,
Laying every burden down,
Leaving all the world can give me,
For a bright and glorious crown!
