[Intro] C G

C
I'm waiting watching and longing

     F                    C
That beautiful sight to behold

When I shall awake some bright morning

        G                         G7
In that city with streets of pure gold

   C
My savior has gone to prepare it

    F                 C
For all who accept his grace

    F                        C
And that's why I know I'll be welcome

     G                       G7
To a home in that wonderful place

[Chorus]

           C
    When I reach my home in that city

            F                  C
    Shall I find you waiting up there

             F                        C
    With the saints who have gone on before us

            G                 G7
    To that beautiful home so fair

       C
    My whole heart is set upon heaven

             F                    C
    Where my savior's face I shall see

        F                        C
    And live in the light of his glory

          G               C
    Throughout all eternity

[Solo]

   C
He bids us to work in His vineyard

   F                     C
To toil for Him early and late

       F                      C
What a glorious reward for our labor

   G                    G7
To enter that beautiful gate

[Chorus]

           C
    When I reach my home in that city

            F                  C
    Shall I find you waiting up there

              F                       C
    With the saints who have gone on before us

            G                 G7
    To that beautiful home so fair

       C
    My whole heart is set upon heaven

          F                       C
    Where my savior's face I shall see

        F                        C
    And live in the light of his glory

          G               C
    Throughout all eternity
