If we en­ter into glo­ry
At the re­sur­rect­ion light,
And in tri­umph sing the sto­ry
Of the love that ban­ished night,
Shall we mur­mur at the sleep­ing
Till that great re­splen­dent day?
Will it be a cause for weep­ing
When our tears are wiped away?

Refrain

Let us wait for Christ from Hea­ven,
Let us wait for Christ from Hea­ven,
Let us wait for Christ from Hea­ven,
Till the re­sur­rect­ion morn.

When we see the saints all beam­ing
In their crowns and robes of white,
And our loved ones in the gleam­ing,
With their forms so pure and bright.
When we meet beyond the sigh­ing,
In the home be­yond the gloom,
Shall we grieve because of ly­ing
In the dark and si­lent tomb?

Refrain

If we see the har­vest glow­ing
In the grand eter­nal rays,
And then glad­ly reap from sow­ing
In these tears thro’ sor­row’s days,
Shall we then be heard re­pin­ing,
Tho’ the seed in earth re­main?
In that morn­ing’s splen­did shin­ing,
It will wave in gold­en grain.

Refrain

Let us wait for Christ from Hea­ven,
As the church in days of old;
When to us our crowns are giv­en,
We will walk the streets of gold;
It will be no cause of sad­ness
That we part­ed when we died,
We shall be in per­fect glad­ness,
With the psalm­ist sa­tis­fied.
