Lyrics

When the trum­pet sounds an­nounc­ing Je­sus near,
With the heav’n­ly an­gels’ voices ring­ing clear,
We will join the chor­us as we catch the chord,
Singing hal­le­lu­jahs to our com­ing Lord.

Refrain

We’ll be wait­ing, we’ll be watch­ing
When our Sav­ior comes from glo­ry;
We’ll be wait­ing, we’ll be watch­ing,
And shout when Je­sus comes.

Patiently we’re trust­ing, wait­ing not in vain,
Knowing that our Sav­ior soon will come again,
In the bless­èd Bi­ble, God has made it known
That some day He’s com­ing back to claim His own.

Refrain

While we wait His com­ing, let us la­bor fast,
Using ev­ery moment as it were the last;
Morning, noon and ev­en­ing let us watch and pray;
It may be our Lord and Sav­ior’s com­ing day.
