1.We know not the time when He cometh,At even, or midnight, or morn;It may be at deepening twilight,It may be at earliest dawn.He bids us to watch and be ready,Nor suffer our lights to grow dim;That when He shall come, He may find us, All waiting and watching for Him.Chorus:Waiting and watching,Waiting and watching;Waiting and watching,Still waiting and watching for Thee.2.I think of His wonderful pity,The price our salvation hath cost;He left the bright mansions of gloryTo suffer and die for the lost.And sometimes I think it will please Him,When those whom He died to redeem,Rejoice in the hope of His comingBy waiting and watching for Him. [Chorus]3.O Jesus, my loving Redeemer,Thou knowest I cherish as dearThe hope that mine eyes shall behold Thee,That I shall thine own welcome hear!If to some as a Judge thou appearest,Who forth from Thy presence would feel,A Friend most beloved I'll greet Thee,I'm waiting and watching for Thee. [Chorus]
