14823. If The Lord My Savior Comes

1 If the Lord my Savior comes
At the dawning, in the morning,
Of a golden summer day,
Will He find me waiting, watching,
For His call to come away?

2 If the Lord my Savior comes
At the noontime, in the hurry,
Mid the toil and pressing care,
Will I hear His sweet voice calling,
Hear that shouting in the air?

3 If the Lord my Savior comes
In the shadows of the twilight,
When the cares are laid aside,
Will He find my soul still harking,
For His summons to His bride?

4 If the Lord my Savior comes
In the quiet of the midnight,
When the earth is hushed to rest,
Will He find my lamp all ready,
Bid me enter with the blest?
