1 Watch, for the Savior is coming;
Thus He has said before:
Soon we shall hear Him, not knowing,
Till He is at the door.
Refrain:
Jesus comes. Lo! He comes,
Oh, the awful moment!
Oh, prepare, for He comes,
Comes in final judgment.
2 Will you be ready and waiting
For the great trumpet’s sound?
When the lost world be will be shaking,
Where will you then be found? [Refrain]
3 Coming in power and great glory,
Gath’ring us home to dwell!
Sinners are banished in misery,
Down to a woeful hell. [Refrain]
4 Down to eternal destruction,
Oh, what an awful sight!
Sent to your last destination,
Where it’s forever night. [Refrain]
5 Sinners, obey and take warning,
Will you now make the choice?
Happy you’ll be in that morning,
If you will hear His voice. [Refrain]
6 Up in the portals of glory,
Gathered around the throne,
Singing salvation’s sweet story,
Safe in our joyful home. [Refrain]
