I’m waiting the time when my Lord shall come
To take me to Heaven above,
To dwell with the angels in that bright home,
Where all is triumphant in love.
Refrain
When Jesus shall come in bright glory for me,
A crown of pure gold shall my portion be,
And robes that are whiter than snow.
I long for the time to behold my Lord,
In glory He’ll come for His own;
Resplendent in brightness He’ll bring reward
To all who His service have done.
Refrain
My Savior is coming in bright array,
On earth I no longer shall roam;
O happy the meeting on that sweet day,
When all hear His welcome, Come home.
Refrain
There’s blessing and glory in Heav’n for me,
If faithful I live here below;
A crown of pure gold shall my portion be,
And robes that are whiter than snow.
Refrain
