1 They watch and wait beyond death’s sea,
Beside the gate of heav’n for thee;
And when at last the day is done,
Thou’lt meet them there, the conquest won.

Refrain:
Resting at home, never to roam,
Glad in his love, resting at home,
Never to roam, never to roam,
Glad in his love, resting at home.

2 The silent stream of death they past,
Nor dream of woe of earth’s cold blast;
But when the flow’rs are even fair,
The ones we love wait over there. [Refrain]

3 The moments glide, day swiftly fly,
Time’s restless tide is sweeping by;
But soon shall dawn a golden day,
When time and toil have passed away. [Refrain]
