Christ the Lord Cometh

Verse 1

Christ the Lord cometh? perchance at the dawn, Where earth awaketh to welcome the morn; Hath He not told us the hour draweth near; Watching and ready, His summons to hear?

Chorus

Jesus is coming! we know not how soon, Coming at midnight, at morning or noon; Evening may bring Him to bear us away; For Him I’m watching and waiting each day.

Verse 2

Christ the Lord cometh? earth’s evening may bring Back to His vineyard our Savior and King; Death shall be conquered and sin overthrown When He returneth to gather His own.

Verse 3

Christ the Lord cometh? man knoweth not when, But when ye think not He cometh again; To all found watching He bringeth no fear, Never a shadow, a parting, a tear.
