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 a 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. Verse 2 ~ There’s light for the wise      who are seeking salvation, There’s truth in the Book      of divine revelation. Each prophecy points      to the great consummation - 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.
