We Know Not the Hour

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

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.

Verse 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.

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.
