Fair as the morning, looking for me:
Free from their sorrow, grief, and despair,
Waiting and watching patiently there.
Refrain:
Looking this way, yes, looking this way;
Lov'd ones are waiting, looking this way;
Fair as the morning, bright as the day,
Dear ones in glory looking this way.
2 Father and mother, safe in that vale,
Watch for the boatman, wait for the sail,
Bearing their lov'd ones over the tide
Into the harbour, near to their side. [Refrain]
3 Brother and sister, gone to that clime,
Wait for the others, coming sometime:
Safe with the angels, whiter than snow,
Watching for dear ones waiting below. [Refrain]
4 Sweet little darling, light of the home,
Looking for some one, beckoning come;
Bright as a sunbeam, pure as the dew,
Anxiously looking, mother, for you. [Refrain]
5 Jesus the Saviour, bright morning star,
Looking for lost ones straying afar;
Hear the glad message, why will you roam?
Jesus is calling, 'Sinner, come home.' [Refrain] Topics: Warning and Entreaty Used With Tune: LOOKING THIS WAY
