I’ll Be Watching and Waiting for You

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.

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.

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.

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.
