Are you wait­ing, bro­ther, wait­ing,
For the first bright ray of morn?
Thro’ the gloom and dark­ness watch­ing
For the glad tri­um­phant dawn?

Refrain

Wait a lit­tle long­er, bro­ther,
Work for Je­sus while you wait;
Soon be­yond the dark­some ri­ver
He will meet you at the gate.

Are you wait­ing, bro­ther, wait­ing,
For the an­gel band to come,
And with strains of sweet­est mu­sic
Take you to your heav’n­ly home?

Refrain

Are you wait­ing, bro­ther, wait­ing,
For the light and bliss above,
Where no cloud shall dim the vi­sion
In the man­sions of His love?

Refrain
