The Gospel Chorus ‎#102

102. Dear Ones Are Waiting for Thee

1 Dear ones are waiting in heaven,
Clad in their garments of white,
Anxiously look for our coming
Home to the mansions of light;
Safely they passed thro’ the portals
Into the haven of rest,
Washed in the blood of the Saviour,
Now they are happy and blest.

Refrain:
Waiting, waiting,
Over the bright crystal sea,
Waiting, waiting,
Dear ones are waiting for thee.

2 Faces that beamed with their kindness,
Forms we remember in love,
Shining resplendent with glory,
Beam on us still from above;
Hands that once lightened our burdens,
Voices we cherished so long,
Beckon us onward and upward,
Welcome us home with their song. [Refrain]

3 Yes, they are waiting and watching,
Free from all labor and care,
Dwelling secure in the Mansions
Jesus has gone to prepare,
Dear is the thought in our sorrow,
Parted from us tho’ they be,
Yet, we shall meet them in glory,
Safe o’er the bright crystal sea. [Refrain]
