Tune: | [Beyond the stars our loved ones wait] |
Composer: | Geo. C. Hugg |
1 Beyond the stars our loved ones wait,
And watch for us beside the gate;
They wait for me, they watch for you,
In that fair land across the blue.
Chorus:
Across the blue, across the blue,
From Pisgah's height behold the view;
Friends wait for me and watch for you,
In sinless land, across the blue.
2 We long to join our loved ones there,
And with them breathe on heaven's air
The song that is forever new,
In glory land, across the blue. [Chorus]
3 When we shall reach the streets of gold,
We will our Saviour's face behold;
We'll kiss the hand that led us thro'
To mansions fair across the blue. [Chorus]
4 Then let us work and do our best,
Soon God will take us home to rest;
For if he finds us tried and true,
We'll live with him across the blue. [Chorus]
5 Till then my soul be still and wait,
Soon thou wilt pass the pearly gate;
Then what a meeting will ensue
With those we love across the blue. [Chorus]
