The Gospel Awakening ‎#16

16. Are You Waiting and Watching?

1. Should Jesus come in the early morning,
Or should He come at night,
Say, will He find us waiting and watching
With lamps all burning bright?

Chorus:
O can you say you are ready, brother,
Ready either day or night!
O will He find us waiting and watching,
Ready for the glorious sight!

2. Should Jesus come with His holy angels,
With shoutings in the air,
O who will then be waiting and watching,
Who will His glories share? [Chorus]

3. When Jesus comes will He find us faithful,
With garments pure and white,
With precious sheaves all garner'd and ready,
To hail Him with delight? [Chorus]

4. Yes, I am waiting and ever watching,
Hoping to see Him come,
That I may see Him in all His glory,
Gath'ring His jewels home. [Chorus]
