1 We’ve loved ones just ov­er the tur­bu­lent tide,
On Hea­ven’s bright, beau­ti­ful shore;
In man­sions of rap­ture they’ll ev­er abide,
And Je­sus, our Sav­ior, adore.

Refrain:
They’re wait­ing and watch­ing for me,
In man­sions just ov­er the sea;
With Christ and the ran­somed for­ev­er to be,
My loved ones are wait­ing for me.

2 They’ve passed from this vale to a land of de­light,
The beau­ties of Hea­ven to see;
Where com­eth no night, and our Lord is the light,
My loved ones are wait­ing for me. [Refrain]

3 Prepare us, dear Sav­ior, to meet them up there,
When we to life’s clos­ing shall come;
We fain would es­cape an eter­nal des­pair,
And share in Thy glo­ri­ous home. [Refrain]
