Sheet music

  1. 1When 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?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?
  2. 2If 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 thee, "Well done?“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?
  3. 3Have 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.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?
  4. 4Blessed 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?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?
