Waiting for You and Me

The gold­en spires are gleam­ing

Just on the oth­er side!

I see the tur­rets glist­en

Hard by the flow­ing tide;

The pear­ly gates are op­en

The high­way’s large and free;

And an­gel bands are wait­ing

To wel­come you and me.

Waiting

wait­ing

Beautiful forms I see;

The an­gel bands are wait­ing

To wel­come you and me.

The fade­less flow­ers are bloom­ing

Just on the oth­er side

And down life’s shin­ing riv­er

The crys­tal wa­ters glide;

The sons of glo­ry ling­er

Beneath each spread­ing tree

And an­gel bands are wait­ing

To wel­come you and me.

With joy we soon shall ga­ther

Just on the oth­er side

While end­less songs of tri­umph

Come float­ing o’er the tide;

In Ed­en’s star lit man­sions

Our home shall ever be

And an­gel bands are wait­ing

To wel­come you and me.

Yes

wait­ing

ev­er wait­ing

Just on the oth­er side—

Beyond the roll­ing riv­er

Across the surg­ing tide;

Yes

wait­ing

ev­er wait­ing

Upon the jas­per sea

And an­gel bands are wait­ing

To wel­come you and me.
