Author: George C. Rumley Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: We’ve loved ones just over the turbulent tide Refrain First Line: They’re waiting and watching for me Lyrics:
1 We’ve loved ones just over the turbulent tide,
On Heaven’s bright, beautiful shore;
In mansions of rapture they’ll ever abide,
And Jesus, our Savior, adore.
Refrain:
They’re waiting and watching for me,
In mansions just over the sea;
With Christ and the ransomed forever to be,
My loved ones are waiting for me.
2 They’ve passed from this vale to a land of delight,
The beauties of Heaven to see;
Where cometh no night, and our Lord is the light,
My loved ones are waiting for me. [Refrain]
3 Prepare us, dear Savior, to meet them up there,
When we to life’s closing shall come;
We fain would escape an eternal despair,
And share in Thy glorious home. [Refrain]
