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.
