I am wait­ing for the morn­ing
Of the bless­èd day to dawn,
When the sor­row and the sad­ness
Of this change­ful life are gone.

Refrain

I am wait­ing, on­ly wait­ing,
Till this wea­ry life is o’er;
Only wait­ing for my wel­come,
From my Sav­ior on the oth­er shore.

I am wait­ing, worn and wea­ry
With the bat­tle and the strife,
Hoping when the war­fare’s ov­er
To re­ceive a crown of life.

Refrain

Waiting, hop­ing, trust­ing ev­er,
For a home of bound­less love;
Like a pil­grim, look­ing for­ward
To the land of bliss above.

Refrain

Hoping soon to meet the loved ones
Where the ma­ny man­sions be;
Listning for the hap­py wel­come
Of my Sav­ior call­ing me.
