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.
Refrain
2
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 comsummation
But
we know not the hour.
3
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.
