18. Coming as a Thief in the Night

1 If Jesus should come would your soul be prepared?
He’s coming as a thief in the night;
What answer would render your life to be spared?
He’s coming as a thief in the night.

Chorus:
O soul, awake! soon the Lord will come,
And none can stand in His sight,
But those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb,
When He comes as a thief in the night.

2 The world is so blinded they will not believe,
He’s coming as a thief in the night;
O let not vain pleasure your poor heart deceive;
He’s coming as a thief in the night. [Chorus]

3 We’re told when “peace, peace” shall be heard in the air,
He’s coming as a thief in the night;
Be watchful, or soon will come gloom and despair;
He’s coming as a thief in the night. [Chorus]

4 The earthquakes are telling His coming is nigh,
He’s coming as a thief in the night;
The storms and the lightning speak loud from the sky,
He’s coming as a thief in the night. [Chorus]

5 The heaven above with its wonders declare,
He’s coming as a thief in the night;
The wild raging waves cry aloud in the air,
He’s coming as a thief in the night. [Chorus]
