Lyrics

There’s a wel­come blest
That my soul shall hear;
It is wait­ing there for me!
From the lov­ing lips
Of the Sav­ior dear!
It is wait­ing there for me!

Refrain

I shall go, some time,
To that beau­te­ous clime,
And a dwell­er there shall be;
And shall there pos­sess
All the bless­ed­ness
That is wait­ing there for me!

There’s a greet­ing glad
From the saint­ed host;
It is wait­ing there for me!
Who are safe­ly housed,
Though they once were lost!
It is wait­ing there for me!

Refrain

There’s a build­ing fair
In the pro­mised land!
It is wait­ing there for me!
’Tis my Fa­ther’s house,
Where the white-robed stand;
It is wait­ing there for me!

Refrain

There’s a fount of joy
Where the pil­grims drink;
It is wait­ing there for me!
Who have an­chored safe
At the ri­ver’s brink;
It is wait­ing there for me!
