THE M EADOW SONG 
 
 I am waiting in the meadows, 
 WitK a River flowing ty 
 Flowing, deep and strong and mighty, 
 Like God's Love — Eternally. 
 For the Kealin^ of the Nations, 
 There, the Tree of Life I see; 
 Ho! ye thirsty; come, ye wounded; 
 'Tis for thee! 'Tis for thee! 
 
THE MEADOW SONG 
 
 2 
 I am waiting in the meadows, 
 Where the River quiet flows, 
 And the flowers, sweetly blooming, 
 Perfume every breeze that blows. 
 All Life's battles now are over. 
 All the sadness — all the tears, 
 I'm victorious in Christ Jesus, 
 No more fears — no more fears.

 I am waiting in tKe meadows 
 WKere m.y Guide has stayed my feet, 
 Till He come a^ain to call me, 
 TKen my joy will te complete. 
 Yes; He'll call me, "Up and follow! 
 There's a mansion now for thee. 
 It is ready! It is ready! 
 Come with me — come with me." 
 
THE MEADOW SONG

 I am waiting in tKe meadows 
 Till my Lord himself appears, 
 And the brightness of the present 
 Veils the past, the future clears. 
 For the brig,ht li^ht of His ^lory 
 Shines ahead, and so I see 
 What it is He has prepared. 
 Just for me — just for me!

 So I tarry in tKe meadow^s, 
 
 WKile the River flows along,, 
 
 Tarry till I hear Him calling, 
 
 Till I hear the Ansel's son^, 
 
 Sin^in^, "Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! 
 
 Here within the ^ates of ^old, 
 
 Where ^reat joys do now await thee, 
 
 Bliss untold! Bliss untold!"
