Solo

I am wait­ing, only wait­ing,
I am wait­ing ev­ery day,
For my pass­port to that coun­try
Where the pure and ho­ly stay;

Duet

Where the air is al­ways balmy,
And the sky is al­ways clear,
And from my­ri­ad harps and voic­es
Music falls up­on the ear.

Refrain

Waiting! wait­ing! wait­ing ev­ery day
For my pass­port to that count­ry,
Where the pure and ho­ly stay.

Solo

Life has brought me much of sor­row,
Weary toil, and hea­vy loss,
And my feet oft slipped and fal­tered
While I bore sin’s hea­vy cross;

Duet

But I found the Rock of Ag­es,
All my hopes on Him I cast,
And He proves a sure foun­da­tion
That up­holds me to the last.

Refrain

Solo

Now my pil­grim­age is ended,
All my la­bor is com­plete,
Fast the sands of time are slip­ping
From be­neath my fee­ble feet;

Duet

But with calm and trust­ful spirit,
And a heart aglow with love,
I am wait­ing for my pas­sport
To that bet­ter world above.

Refrain
