Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright ?
Oh, can we say we are ready, brother ?----
Ready for the soul's bright home ?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come ?
2 If at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee ?---- Well done !
3 Have we been true to the trust He left us ?
Do we seek to do our best ?
If in our hearts there is naught
condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest.
4 Blessed are those whom the Lord
finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there ?
