We are watching we are waiting

1.

We are watching we are waiting

Till the mists shall clear away

And our Lord shall come in glory

With His saints in bright array;

When the trump of God resounding

Shall be heard in ev’ry shore

And the dead in Christ shall waken

To be with Him evermore

We are watching, we are waiting

For the dawning of that glorious day;

For the coming of our Saviour

With His saints in bright array

2.

We are looking for the coming

Of our great and glorious King

Who shall banish from His presence

Ev’ry dark and evil thing;

When His justice and His mercy

Shall prevail in all the world

And o’er ev’ry tribe and nation

Shall His banner be unfurl’d

3.

Now by faith we catch a vision

Of that glad millennial reign

And behold the ransom’d millions

Who shall follow in His train;

And our hearts cry out, “Come quickly!”

That His beauty we may see

And be with our Lord in glory

Through a blest eternity
