540 ~ We Know Not the Hour
1
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
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.
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.
