WE KNOW NOT THE HOUR

We know not the hour of the Master's appearing
Yet signs all foretell that the moment is nearing
When He shall return 'tis the promise most cheering
But we know not the hour

Chorus:
He will come, let us watch and be ready
He will come, hallelujah! hallelujah
He will come in the clouds of His Father's
Bright glory but we know not the hour

There's light for the wise who are seeking salvation
There's truth in the book of the Lord's revelation
Each prophecy points to the great consummation
But we know not the hour

We'll watch and we'll pray, with our lamps trimmed and burning
We'll work and we'll wait till the Master's returning
We'll sing and rejoice, every omen discerning
But we know not the hour
