Author: I. B. Hymnal: The Master's Praise #18 (1892) Hymnal Title: The Master's Praise First Line: Blessed are the faithful, watching for the Lord Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the faithful, watching for the Lord —
Looking for the coming of the great reward;
when he comes in glory, shouts of praise shall ring.
As the faithful gather with their glorious King.
Chorus:
Blessed are the faithful,
Blessed are the faithful,
Blessed are the faithful servants whom the Lord
Finds watching when he comes.
2 Blessed are the faithful, watching for the day,
when the earth and heavens swiftly pass away;
When the lone and weary from their toils shall rest;
In the Father's kingdom be forever blest. [Chorus]
3 Blessed are the faithful, struggling here below,
Watching for the Master while the shadows grow;
Soon their hearts will gladden at the Master's call:
"Come ye faithful servants, there is room for all." [Chorus]
