1. We are waiting for thee, Lord Jesus,
Patiently as watchers linger here,
All arrayed in white adorning,
List’ning thy returning step to hear.
Chorus:
Waiting for thee, we are longing for thee,
Waiting for the breaking of the dawn;
Waiting for thee, we are longing for thee;
Waiting, watching, longing, Lord, for thee.
2. We are waiting for thee, Lord Jesus,
Hoping in thy presence soon to be,
With our lamps all trimmed and burning,
Watching now thy coming form to see.
3. We are waiting for thee, Lord Jesus,
List’ning for the final trumpet peal
That shall wake the slumb’ring nations,
Waiting that eternal bliss to feel.
4. We are waiting for thee, Lord Jesus,
Longing that supernal day to see,
When, with all the blest of ages,
We shall in thy hallowed presence be.
