598- Watch, Ye Saints
Christian Life: Watchfulness
1
- Watch, ye saints, with eyelids waking;
- Lo! the powers of heaven are shaking;
- Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning,
- Ready for your Lord's returning.
Refrain
- Lo! He comes, lo! Jesus comes;
- Lo! He comes, He comes all-glorious!
- Jesus comes to reign victorious,
- Lo! He comes, yes, Jesus comes.
2
- Lo! the promise of your Savior,
- Pardoned sin and purchased favor,
- Blood-washed robes and crowns of glory;
- Haste to tell redemption's story.
3
- Kingdoms at their base are crumbling,
- Hark! His chariot wheels are rumbling,
- Tell, O tell of grace abounding,
- While the seventh trump is sounding.
4
- Nations wane, though proud and stately;
- Christ His kingdom hasteneth greatly;
- Earth her latest pangs is summing;
- Shout, ye saints, your Lord is coming.
5
- Sinners, come, while Christ is pleading;
- Now for you He's interceding;
- Haste, ere grace and time diminished
- Shall proclaim the mystery finished.
