1 Over the river faces I see,
Fair as the morning, looking for me;
Free from their sorrow, grief, and despair,
Waiting and watching patiently there.

Chorus:
Looking this way, yes, looking this way;
Loved ones are waiting, looking this way;
Fair as the morning, bright as the day,
Dear ones in glory looking this way.

2 Father and mother, safe in that vale,
Watch for the boatman, wait for the sail,
Bearing their loved ones over the tide
Into the harbor, near to their side. [Chorus]

3 Brother and sister, gone to that clime,
Wait for the others, coming sometime;
Safe with the angels, whiter than snow,
Watching for dear ones waiting below. [Chorus]

4 Jesus the Savior, bright Morning Star,
Looking for lost ones straying afar;
Hear the glad message; why will you roam?
Jesus is calling, "Sinner, come home." [Chorus]
