Verse 1: Soon our Lord will come, the day is drawing nigh, Sound of His approaching we can hear. Watchful we must be and always on alert That the Lord our hearts with rapture cheer. Verse 2: Soon our Lord will come, the Morning Star appear; Night is deep, and soon will dawn the day. Never with the current of the age we go, That from trials we'll be kept away. Verse 3: Soon our Lord will come His servants to reward; Those who love Him then the crown will share. Watchful we must be and treasure not the world, Love and serve the Lord, His burden bear. Verse 4: Soon our Lord will come and in His kingdom reign; Satan will be bound, the world subdued. We must fight the battle, overcome the foe, On His throne He then will us include.
