And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb.
Revelation 15:3
Words & Music: C. F. Leftwich, in The Brilliant, edited by William T. Giffe (Indianapolis, Indiana: 1874), number 30 (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know Leftwich’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Far, far away in the regions immortal,
Jesus, our Savior, waits us there;
Waits to receive us at the pearly portals,
With the shining angels in the air.
Refrain
They are waiting for us there;
They are waiting for us there;
They are waiting for us there,
In that happy land so bright and fair.
There are our friends who have passed on before us,
Waiting to bid us welcome there;
Waiting with robes and crowns all victorious,
In that happy land so bright and fair.
Refrain
Oh, may we each one be ready to meet them,
Meet in that sweet celestial clime;
Meet there to sing our great Redeemer’s praises,
Meet to sing our Savior’s love divine.
Refrain
