Are we wait­ing for the com­ing of the Lord, my bro­ther?
Are we walk­ing in the Spir­it? do we love each oth­er?
In the un­ion of af­fect­ion are we found to­ge­ther?
Are we trad­ing with the tal­ents that He gave?

Refrain

Lo, He comes! the day is nigh!
Look ye for Him, ev­ery eye!
Coming with the clouds of glo­ry,
All the earth shall see Him!
Hallelujah! for the com­ing draw­eth nigh!

Let us trim our lamps, my bro­ther, and ab­ide His com­ing,
Neither let the bless­èd Mas­ter find us in sin roam­ing,
Whether com­ing at the mid­night or at bright day dawn­ing,
Let’s be ready for the com­ing of the King.

Refrain

We’ll re­joice that He is com­ing, tho’ we now see trou­ble;
For the sor­rows of the pre­sent there’s re­joic­ing dou­ble;
To re­pay our ev­ery sor­row Christ our Lord is able;
Then be pa­tient till the com­ing of the King.
