Classic Poem

When the waiting time is over
When the Master bids us come,
In the glad and bright forever
We shall rest in peace at home.
When the waiting time is over,
Battles fought, and vict'ries won,
We shall hear the Saviour's welcome:
“Good and faithful one, well done.”
When the waiting time is over,
When the toils of life are past,
We shall sing with holy rapture
“Praise the Lord, we're home at last”

When the waiting time is over,
When from sin … and sorrow free,
We shall meet . . . . beyond the river, . . . .
When the waiting, waiting, waiting,
When the waiting time is over,
When the waiting time is over,
When from sin and sorrow free,
We shall meet beyond the river, …
When the waiting time is over,
There to dwell eternally, (eternally.)
