WAIT FOR ME 
Wait for me up in glory, 
Wait by the river of life; 
Tell Jesus for me that Fm longing, 
And reacfy to cease from my sighs: 
Just tell him Ill see you in glory, 
After this life here is through. 
Just wait for me up in glory. 
And soon Ill be coming to you. 
When the Lord called you home 
How it broke my heart 
To see you go away, 
Although I knew right from the start 
Wed meet again some day. 
So Ill watch and pray. 
Each night and day. 
Until my work is through - 
Then I shall hear my Master say, 
Come home, we re waiting for you!
