When I shall cross over the dark rolling tide
Oh, what a glad meeting there'll be
For close by the beautiful pearly white gate
My loved ones are waiting for me.

Waiting for me, they're waiting for me
Oh, what a glad meeting there'll be
Waiting for me, they're waiting for me
My loved ones are waiting for me.

--- Instrumental ---

I sometimes get weary and long to go home
But all of my work is not done
I'm glad I can labor for Jesus my Lord
Till sounds of sweet message come home.

Waiting for me, they're waiting for me
Oh, what a glad meeting there'll be
Waiting for me, they're waiting for me
My loved ones are waiting for me...
