Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9635 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Beyond the stars our loved ones wait Refrain First Line: Across the blue, across the blue Lyrics: 1 Beyond the stars our loved ones wait,
And watch for us beside the gate;
They wait for me, they watch for you,
In that fair land across the blue.
Refrain:
Across the blue, across the blue,
From Pisgah’s height behold the view;
Friends wait for me and watch for you,
In sinless land, across the blue.
2 We long to join our loved ones there,
And with them breathe on Heaven’s air
The song that is forever new,
In glory land, across the blue. [Refrain]
3 When we shall reach the streets of gold,
We will our Savior’s face behold;
We’ll kiss the hand that led us thro’
To mansions fair across the blue. [Refrain]
4 Then let us work and do our best,
Soon God will take us home to rest;
For if He finds us tried and true,
We’ll live with Him across the blue. [Refrain]
5 Till then, my soul, be still and wait;
Soon thou wilt pass the pearly gate;
Then what a meeting will ensue
With those we love across the blue. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKLAND
