1.我们不知主何时回来，或在日中正午显现，
或在夕阳西下傍晚时，或在晨光黎明之间，
主嘱咐我们时刻警醒，将油加满将灯剔净，
及至主驾天云而降临,我们都能竭诚欢迎。
2.主为寻找拯救丧亡人，付上最大牺牲赎价，
离开天上荣耀的宫殿，受苦受骂被钉十架，
祂既然为人受尽痛苦，带来永生福乐平安，
我若能在此警醒预备,就蒙嘉奖永享平康。
3.恳求耶稣扶持并帮助，使我坚守信仰指望，
但愿亲耳得听主应许，亲眼得见万王之王，
若不趁早警醒而预备，那时就必惊惶躲藏，
若预备妥当而迎接祂,就蒙嘉奖永享平康。
（副歌）
警醒而等待，警醒而等待，
警醒而等待,警醒等待直到主来。
1. We know not the time when He cometh,
At even, or midnight, or morn;
It may be at deepening twilight,
It may be at earliest dawn.
He bids us to watch and be ready,
Nor suffer our lights to grow dim;
That when He shall come, He may find us,
All waiting and watching for Him.
Chorus:
Waiting and watching,
Waiting and watching;
Waiting and watching,
Still waiting and watching for Thee.
2. I think of His wonderful pity,
The price our salvation hath cost;
He left the bright mansions of glory
To suffer and die for the lost.
And sometimes I think it will please Him,
When those whom He died to redeem,
Rejoice in the hope of His coming
By waiting and watching for Him. [Chorus]
3. O Jesus, my loving Redeemer,
Thou knowest I cherish as dear
The hope that mine eyes shall behold Thee,
That I shall thine own welcome hear!
If to some as a Judge thou appearest,
Who forth from Thy presence would feel,
A Friend most beloved I'll greet Thee,
I'm waiting and watching for Thee. [Chorus]
