Now they are watching for me.

Watching today,
Watching today;
Loved ones are waiting,
Are waiting my coming today.

Over the beautiful river;
Learning and singing the songs of the blest,
Yet they are watching for me. [Refrain]

Over the beautiful river;
Oft in the silence their voices I hear,
Still they are watching for me. [Refrain]

Over the beautiful river;
Soon I shall meet them on yonder bright shore,
Loved ones now watching for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Over the river my loved ones have passed]
