GHS 57 : They That Wait Upon The Lord Lyrics
GHS 57, “They That Wait Upon The Lord,” is a hymn of encouragement built directly on the promise of Isaiah 40:31, which declares that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, mount up with wings like eagles, run without wearying, and walk without fainting. Written as a call to weary harvesters in the field of gospel work, the hymn acknowledges the reality of feebleness and discouragement in Christian service without treating those conditions as the final word. The Lord is still present, still faithful, still able to send the grace needed to go forward.
This hymn appears as number 57 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it is particularly powerful for those in ministry who are running low in strength.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 57: They That Wait Upon The Lord
- Ho, reapers in the whitened harvest! Oft feeble, faint, and few; Come, wait upon the blessed Master, Our strength He will renew.
For “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles: They shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
-
Too oft a-weary and discouraged, We pour a sad complaint; Believing in a living Saviour, Why should we ever faint?
-
Rejoice! for He is with us alway, Lo, even to the end! Look up! take courage and go forward — All needed grace He’ll send!
