14982. Could You Welcome Him Tonight?

1 Are you waiting, are you ready
For the coming Lord?
Are you living as He bids you
In His holy word?
Are you walking in the light?
Is your hope of Heaven bright?
Could you welcome Him tonight,
Should He come?

Refrain:
Should He come, should He come?
Could you gladly welcome Him, should He come?
Should He come, should He come?
Could you welcome Him tonight, should He come?

2 Are you watching, are you waiting
For the coming Lord?
Have you gathered in the lost ones
From the downward road?
Will you lay at Jesus’ feet
Withered leaves or sheaves of wheat?
When you shall the Master meet,
Should He come? [Refrain]

3 Have you wakened, have you risen
From your slumbering sleep?
Is your lamp all brightly burning,
Do you vigil keep?
Are your garments washed from sin,
Are you cleansed and pure within?
Are you ready for the King,
Should He come? [Refrain]
