They Are Waiting and Watching

I have loved ones who’ve gone to

That beau­ti­ful home—

And I’m long­ing their fac­es to see;

O to sing the sweet sto­ry

They are beck­on­ing

Come!

They are wait­ing and watch­ing for me.

They are wait­ing for me

They are wait­ing for me;

They are call­ing me yon­der

To that beau­ti­ful shore

They are wait­ing and watch­ing for me.

They are shout­ing and sing­ing

In those man­sions above;

O so hap­py to meet them I’ll be;

There sweet mu­sic is ring­ing—

All is glad­ness and love

They are wait­ing and watch­ing for me.

O I long for that meet­ing

On that glit­ter­ing strand;

Far across the dark bil­lowy sea;

For that glo­ri­ous greet­ing

In that beau­ti­ful land

They are wait­ing and watch­ing for me.

They are call­ing me yon­der

To that beau­ti­ful shore;

There’s a home that is wait­ing for me;

There I know from my loved ones

I will part nev­er­more

They are wait­ing and watch­ing for me.
