Loved Ones Are Waiting for Me

lyricist: James Jaggars, 1913
Composer: George Bacon

When I cross death’s si­lent riv­er

I shall find my loved ones there

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me;

Those who’ve gone so long be­fore me

And Christ’s bless­ings ful­ly share

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me.

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me;

I shall see them when I cross the won­der­ful sea;

I shall join the snow-white an­gels

There to live eter­nal­ly

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me.

Oft I think of my dear fa­ther

Who now lives on that blest shore

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me;

With what glad­ness he will wel­come

When my life’s work here is o’er!

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me.

I can al­most hear the sing­ing

Of re­deemed ones in that land

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me;

And I know that will be glo­ry

When I join that hap­py band.

Waiting for me

wait­ing for me.
