When Jesus comes to reward His servants,
Whether it be
noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
Refrain
O 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?
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”?
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Blessèd 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?
Refrain
