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?
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?
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!”
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?
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.
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?
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?
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?
