598   Watch Ye Saints




[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.

[C]
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.

[C]
Lo! He comes lo! Jesus comes;
Lo! He comes He comes all-glorious!
Jesus comes to reign victorious
Lo! He comes yes Jesus comes.

[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.

[C]
Lo! He comes lo! Jesus comes;
Lo! He comes He comes all-glorious!
Jesus comes to reign victorious
Lo! He comes yes Jesus comes.

[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.

[C]
Lo! He comes lo! Jesus comes;
Lo! He comes He comes all-glorious!
Jesus comes to reign victorious
Lo! He comes yes Jesus comes.

[5]
Sinners come while Christ is pleading;
Now for you He s interceding;
Haste ere grace and time diminished
Shall proclaim the mystery finished.

[C]
Lo! He comes lo! Jesus comes;
Lo! He comes He comes all-glorious!
Jesus comes to reign victorious
Lo! He comes yes Jesus comes.
