\nWatch, ye saints, with eyelids waking;
\nLo! The powers of heaven are shaking;
\nKeep your lamps all trimmed an burning,
\nReady for your Lord\u2019s returning.<\/p>\n
Refrain
\nLo! He comes, lo! Jesus comes;
\nLo! He come, He comes all glorious!
\nJesus comes to reign victorious,
\nLo! He comes, yes, Jesus comes.<\/p>\n
2
\nLo! the promise of your Savior,
\nPardoned sin and purchased favor,
\nBlood-washed robes and crowns of glory;
\nHaste to tell redemption’s story.<\/p>\n
3
\nKingdoms at their base are crumbling,
\nHark! His chariot wheels are rumbling;
\nTell, O tell of grace abounding,
\nWhile the seventh trump is sounding.<\/p>\n
4
\nNations wane, though proud and stately;
\nChrist His kingdom hasteneth greatly;
\nEarth her latest pangs is summing;
\nShout, ye saints, your Lord is coming.<\/p>\n
5
\nSinners, come, while Christ is pleading;
\nNow for you He’s interceding;
\nHaste, ere grace and time diminished
\nShall proclaim the mystery finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
