Author: James W. Jaggars Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: When I cross death’s silent river Refrain First Line: Waiting for me, waiting for me Lyrics: 1 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.
Refrain:
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.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When I cross death’s silent river] Text Sources: New Songs of Praise by Alfred E. Helton et al. (Lenoir, NC: Teachers' Music Publishing Comany, 1913)
