Verse 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 come, He comes all glorious! Jesus comes to reign victorious,      Lo! He comes, yes, Jesus comes. Verse 2 ~ Lo! the promise of your Saviour,      Pardoned sin and purchased favor, Blood-washed robes and crowns of glory;      Haste to tell redemption's story. Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 5 ~ Sinners, come, while Christ is pleading;      Now for you He's interceding; Haste, ere grace and time diminished      Shall proclaim the mystery finished.
