Representative Text

1 O say do you know there’s a mansion in heav’n,
Waiting for you, waiting for me,
That Jesus my Savior the promise has giv’n,
Waiting for you and me,
A beautiful crown of eternal rest,
A robe of rejoicing with all the blest,
A home where no sorrow can ever molest,
Waiting for you and me.

Refrain:
Waiting for you,
Waiting for me,
I am so glad there’s a mansion on high,
Waiting for you and me.

2 O say have you friends who have gone on before,
Waiting for you, waiting for me,
Who lovingly watch from the beautiful shore,
Waiting for you and me,
Their song is an infinite song of love,
AS there with the glorified throng above,
The promise of Jesus to sinners they prove,
Waiting for you and me. [Refrain]

3 The Savior has mercies and blessings for all,
Waiting for you, waiting for me,
Oh why not accept him and answer the call,
Waiting for you and me,
The moments are flying, the days go by,
Tomorrow it may be too late to cry,
Oh, tarry no longer for Jesus is nigh,
Waiting for you and me. [Refrain]
