We are wait­ing and watch­ing, dear Sav­ior,
For an old time re­vi­val we pray;
Thou who hast all the floods in Thy keep­ing,
Send a wave of sal­va­tion today.

Refrain

Send a wave of sal­va­tion, dear Sav­ior,
Over ci­ty and coun­try, we pray;
To re­deem and re­store poor lost sin­ners;
Send a wave of sal­va­tion to­day.

We are pray­ing for sin­ners, dear Sav­ior,
And for sheep who have wan­dered as­tray;
Nothing, Lord, but Thy pow’r can re­claim them,
Send a wave of sal­va­tion to­day.

Refrain

Many sad hearts are weep­ing in sor­row,
For the years have been squan­dered away;
But their tears with­out Christ will not save them,
Send a wave of sal­va­tion to­day.

Refrain

In that home of the soul we have loved ones,
We’ve been lone­ly since they went away;
O that all may pre­pare to re­join them;
Send a wave of sal­va­tion to­day.
