Looking This Way

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

Brother and sister gone to that clime, Waiting for the others coming some time; Safe with the angels, whiter than snow, Watching for dear ones waiting below.

Verse 4

Sweet little darling, light of the home, Looking for someone, beckoning come; Bright as a sunbeam, pure as the dew. Anxiously looking, mother, for you.

Verse 5

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."
