Waiting and Watching Lyrics

By Fountainview Academy

Lyrics

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.


I think of His wonderful pity,

The price our salvation hath cost;

He left the bright mansions of glory

To 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 coming

By waiting and watching for Him.


O Jesus, my loving Redeemer,

Thou knowest I cherish as dear

The 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.
