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.
