1 When I get to that city
Whose streets are of gold,
After life and its sorrows are thro’;
As I stand with the chorus
All robed in bright glory,
I’ll be watching and waiting for you.

Refrain:
I’ll be watching, I’ll be waiting,
While the Savior is crowning
The faithful and true;
I’ll be watching, I’ll be waiting,
I’ll be watching and waiting for you.

2 I shall walk with my loved ones
Who’ve gone on before,
And are singing Christ’s story anew;
While I join their hosannas
To our blessèd Redeemer,
I’ll be watching and waiting for you. [Refrain]

3 In that morning of glory
When Jesus shall come,
And shall crown for His children the true;
While the wicked are mourning,
And the saved ones rejoicing,
I’ll be watching and waiting for you. [Refrain]
