Watch and Pray

Verse 1

Watch, for the hour is coming When the Master shall come again; With a shining band from the heav’nly land, He will come, evermore to reign.

Chorus

Then may we all be ready for that great and glorious day; Yes, may we all be ready for that great and glorious day; Since that day is known unto God alone, Let us always watch and pray.

Verse 2

Glorious will be His coming, But no one knows the day or hour; No, not angels bright in that world of light, When the Lord shall descend with power.

Verse 3

Quickly the hour is coming, When again from that far-off land He shall come and call for His servants all, And before Him we then must stand.

Verse 4

“Watch, for the hour is coming,” Is the charge he has left for all; Still your vigils keep, nor be found asleep When He sends forth the solemn call.
