Waiting for the boys to come home

BG

These are days of trouble and sorrow in this wicked world below 
We are trusting ever we’re trusting God to lead against the foe 
It will be a happy tomorrow when the boys again we’ll see 
And to port the ship will come sailing as we shout for victory 
 
We are waiting (waiting) waiting (waiting) waiting with a smiling song 
We are waiting (waiting) waiting (waiting) waiting and it won’t be long 
(Ship’ll come) sailing (sailing) sailing (sailing) sailing thru the dashing foam 
We are waiting (waiting) waiting (waiting) waiting for the boys to come home 
 
We must keep the beacon light shining from this lighthouse on the shore 
They are coming yes they are coming we will see their smile once more 
God will make a silvery lining from the clouds that drift above 
And to port the ship will come sailing bringing back the boys we love
