142. Waiting Up There

1 Precious the promise Jesus has given,
That when the cares of life all are past
He has a place prepared up in heaven,
We shall be gathered there safe at last.

Refrain:
There is a home for the wayworn and weary
Waiting up there,
Waiting up there;
There is a home for the lonely and dreary
Waiting up there,
Waiting up there.

2 Burdens of life may hinder us ever,
Darkest of clouds the skies overcast,
Precious the promise, it faileth never,
We shall be gathered home safe at last. [Refrain]

3 As you the pathway tread, do your duty,
Ever be faithful, true to your trust,
Then shall you see the King in His beauty,
You shall be gathered there safe at last. [Refrain]
