C
I'm waiting watching and longing
F C
That beautiful sight to behold
When I shall awake some bright morning
G G7
In that city with streets of pure gold
C
My savior has gone to prepare it
F C
For all who accept his grace
F C
And that's why I know I'll be welcome
G G7
To a home in that wonderful place
GHORUS
C
When I reach my home in that city
F C
Shall I find you waiting up there
F C
With the saints who have gone on before us
G G7
To that beautiful home so fair
C
My whole heart is set upon heaven
F C
Where my savior's face I shall see
F C
And live in the light of his glory
G C
Throughout all eternity

He bids us to work in His vineyard

To toil for Him early and late

What a glorious reward for our labor
G G7
To enter that beautiful gate
GHORUS

When I reach my home in that city
F C
Shall I find you waiting up there
F C
With the saints who have gone on before us

My whole heart is set upon heaven

Where my savior's face I shall see
F C
And live in the light of his glory
