Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
The Master has promised that He will return
On a night when there's no one expecting to see Him at all.
Keep oil in the lamps so they're ready to burn
On the night of His secret, when those who are waiting He'll call.
VERSE 2
Look not for the Master in heaven's dark space
By the light of our living on earth we'll discover His face.
The face of the Master is always at hand
In the face of the stranger, the poor, in the face of a man.
VERSE 3
This stranger will search for His home in the night
And then how will He find it unless all the windows are bright.
But if we are waitingWhy then He'll come in
And there'll be a homecoming with dancing and singing within.
164B. WILL JESUS FIND US WATCHING?
VERSE 1
When Jesus comes to reward His servants,
Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
CHORUS
O can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul's bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?
VERSE 2
If, at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer theeWell done?
VERSE 3
Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest.
VERSE 4
Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there?
