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.
Work, joyfully work, all ye who know reward is nigh;
His chastening;
Wait, patiently wait, for your and by.
Lift up your heads, the day of rest is hastening;
Rest, glorious rest, with Jesus by
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.
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.
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.
