[Repeat throughout song:]
(Waiting and watching, waiting and watching)
[Verse 1]
Oh when I shall cross over
The dark, rolling tide
Oh what a glad meeting
Will be, oh yeah
So close by the beautiful
Pearly white gate
My loved ones all waiting
For me (waiting and watching for me)
[Chorus]
Well they’re waiting for me
Yes they’re waiting over there for me
What a glad, glorious meeting
There will be, oh yeah
Oh, they’re waiting for me
Yes, they’re waiting over there for me
Well my lovеd ones, they’re waiting
For mе (waiting and watching for me)
[Verse 2]
A mother, father
And kindred have gone
To dwell, Lord, in the city
So fair, oh yeah
Oh while I, I still linger
On time’s troubled shore
They are waiting and watching
Up there (waiting and watching up there)
[Chorus]
Oh they’re waiting for me
Yes they’re waiting for me
What a glad, glorious meeting
There will be, oh yeah
Well, they’re waiting for me
Yes, they’re waiting over there for me
Well my loved ones, so glad they’re waiting
For me (waiting and watching for me)
