Read the times with keen discerning,
Oh, ye servants of the Lord;
See the signs of Christ’s returning,
As is promised in His word.

Refrain

If He should come tonight,
If He should come tonight,
Would He find us watching, waiting,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
If He should come tonight,
If He should come tonight,
Would He find us watching, waiting,
If the Lord should come tonight?

Note the earth already quaking,
’Neath our king’s oncoming tread;
Soon His voice, the silence breaking,
Shall awake the sleeping dead.

Refrain

Suddenly and without warning,
He shall in the clouds appear,
And the great millennial morning
Of His pow’r is almost here.

Refrain

He His chosen bride shall gather,
When He comes to earth again;
To the bosom of the Fa­ther,
Evermore with Him to reign.
