25. His Coming is Near

1 We know not the day when the Master shall come,
His chosen to gather and welcome them home;
He’s tarrying yet, but He bids us prepare
To meet Him when He cometh.

Chorus:
His coming is near—but we know not the hour,
Jesus soon will appear on the right hand of pow’r;
We know not the day, but ‘tis not far away,
When Jesus in glory shall come.

2 We’ll watch with our lamps burning steady and bright,
Still looking for Jesus and ready for flight;
We’ll sing and rejoice, our redemption is nigh—
And meet Him when He cometh. [Chorus]

3 It may be at morn, darkest midnight or noon,
This only we know: He is coming and soon;
“Hold fast till I come,” is the Master’s command;
We’ll meet Him when He cometh. [Chorus]
