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.

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

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.
