Verse 2: I am waiting for the signal that shall speak my full release, And present my welcome passport To the realms of perfect peace; Yes, and when the weary sandals All the dusty way have trod, I shall sing among the angels By the golden throne of God. Verse 3: I am longing to be going, yet my Father’s kind command Bids me tarry ‘mid the shadows Of the misty, lowerland; When my pilgrimage is ended I shall stem the turbid flood, And recline upon the bosom Of the spotless Son of God. Chorus: I am longing for the coming Of the snowwhite angel band, That shall bear my weary spirit To that sinless summerland.
