I will wait for the Bridegroom
I've awakened early to say
I will wait for my Bridegroom
I will wait for Him today
I will give to Him my impatience
I will give Him all of my fear
I will make my heart very quiet
I will wait for Him here
[Chorus:]
In bright color
And in joyous line
In morning light and lampfire
I'll make fine my home here
And trust in my home to come
La, la, la, la...
With loving care and with pleasure
In the lamplight I will sing
I will trust in my Bridegroom
I will give Him everything
[Chorus 2x]
I will give to Him my impatience
I will give Him all of my fear
I will make my heart very quiet
I will wait for Him here
I will wait for the Bridegroom
I've awakened early to say
I will wait for my Bridegroom
I will wait for Him today
