When I shall cross over the dark, rolling tide
Oh, what a glad meeting there'll be
For close by the beautiful, pearly white gates
My loved ones are waiting for me

(Chorus)
Waiting for me, they're waiting for me
Oh, what a glad meeting 'twill be
Waiting for me, they're waiting for me
My loved ones are waiting for me

I sometimes get weary and long to go home
But all of my work is not done
I'm glad I can labor for Jesus, my Lord
'Til sounds the sweet message "Come home"

(Repeat Chor
