SS&S 181: Watch, earnestly watch, the Lord's approach is nearing

1. Watch, earnestly watch, the Lord's approach is nearing ;

Pray, fervently pray, no man can know the hour ;

Like as a thief at night is His appearing ;

He cometh to judge the world in truth and power.

 

Watch ye, pray ye, soldiers of the Lord ;

Work ye, wait ye, trusting in His word ;

Keep His commandments ? and His law obey,

And He will reward you in the last great day.

 

2 Work, joyfully work, all ye who know

His chastening;

Wait, patiently wait, for your reward is nigh;

Lift up your heads, the day of rest is hastening ;

Rest, glorious rest, with Jesus by and by.

 

3 Trust, loyally trust, and as to Him

thou'rt clinging,

Keep, faithfully keep the Saviour's

blest commands ;

Then in thy heart the blest assurance

ringing,

Know surely thy name is written in His hands.
