Tune: | [We are waiting for the Master] |
Composer: | Thoro Harris |
1 We are waiting for the Master
Who will bid us rise and come
To the glory of His presence
In that everlasting home.
Refrain:
They are waiting at the portal,
All the lov’d ones gone before,
Waiting only for our coming,
Waiting at the open door.
2 Many weary days we travel
In the darkest storm and strife,
Bearing many a heavy burden
Ere we reach the higher life. [Refrain]
3 Many friends who journey’d with us
Found that portal long ago;
One by one they left us battling
With our dark and crafty foe. [Refrain]
4 Yes, their pilgrimage was shorter
And their triumph sooner won;
But how lovingly they’ll greet us
When the toils of life are done! [Refrain]
