They Are Waiting

Author: C. R. Leftwich Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16657 First Line: Far, far away in the re­gions im­mor­tal Refrain First Line: They are wait­ing for us there Lyrics: 1 Far, far away in the re­gions im­mor­tal, Jesus, our Sav­ior, waits us there; Waits to re­ceive us at the pear­ly por­tals, With the shin­ing an­gels in the air. Refrain: They are wait­ing for us there; They are wait­ing for us there; They are wait­ing for us there, In that hap­py land so bright and fair. 2 There are our friends who have passed on be­fore us, Waiting to bid us wel­come there; Waiting with robes and crowns all vic­tor­ious, In that hap­py land so bright and fair. [Refrain] 3 Oh, may we each one be rea­dy to meet them, Meet in that sweet ce­les­ti­al clime; Meet there to sing our great Re­deem­er’s prais­es, Meet to sing our Sav­ior’s love di­vine. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Far, far away in the re­gions im­mor­tal]
