✝ Verse 1:
Db 
We know not the time when He cometh,
Gb                         Db 
At even, or midnight, or morn;
Ab                        Db 
It may be at deepening twilight,
    Ab         D#        Ab 
It may be at earliest dawn.
    Db 
He bids us to watch and be ready,
Gb                              Db 
Nor suffer our lights to grow dim;
      Ab                          Db 
That when He shall come, He may find us,
     Gb      Ab                Db 
All waiting and watching for Him.

✝ Refrain: 
Db            Gb 
Waiting and watching,
Ab7           Db 
Waiting and watching;
         Gb   Db 
Waiting and watching,
A#     Gb           Ab            Db 
Still waiting and watching for Thee.

✝ Verse 2:
Db 
I think of His wonderful pity,
Gb                             Db 
The price our salvation hath cost;
Ab                               Db 
He left the bright mansions of glory
    Ab         D#        Ab 
To suffer and die for the lost.
    Db 
And sometimes I think it will please Him,
Gb                             Db 
When those whom He died to redeem,
      Ab                      Db 
Rejoice in the hope of His coming
    Gb      Ab                Db 
By waiting and watching for Him.

✝ Refrain: 
Db            Gb 
Waiting and watching,
Ab7           Db 
Waiting and watching;
         Gb   Db 
Waiting and watching,
A#     Gb             Ab            Db 
Still waiting and watching for Thee.

✝ Verse 3:
Db 
O Jesus, my loving Redeemer,
Gb                         Db 
Thou knowest I cherish as dear
Ab                                Db 
The hope that mine eyes shall behold Thee,
    Ab         D#                 Ab 
That I shall thine own welcome hear!
    Db 
If to some as a Judge thou appearest,
Gb                              Db 
Who forth from Thy presence would feel,
      Ab                       Db 
G  Friend most beloved I'll greet Thee,
     Gb           Ab             Db 
I'm waiting and watching for Thee.

✝ Refrain: 
Db            Gb 
Waiting and watching,
Ab7           Db 
Waiting and watching;
         Gb   Db 
Waiting and watching,
A#     Gb           Ab            Db 
Still waiting and watching for Thee.
