“WILL JESUS FIND US WATCHING?”
When Jesus comes to reward His servants, Whether it be noon or night, Faithful to Him will He find us watching, With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
Refrain:
Oh, can we say we are ready, brother? Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching, Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?
If, at the dawn of the early morning, He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents, Will He answer thee, “Well done”?
Have we been true to the trust He left us? Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us, We shall have a glorious rest.
Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching, In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight, Will He find us watching there?
“LAST MILE OF THE WAY”
If I walk in the pathway of duty,
If I work till the close of the day;
I shall see the great King in His beauty When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
Here the dearest of ties we must sever, Tears of sorrow are seen ev’ry day;
But no sickness. no sighing forever When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
Chorus:
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. I will rest at the close of the day.
And I know there are joys that await me When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
If for Christ I proclaim the glad story,
If I seek for His sheep gone astray;
I am sure He will show me His glory When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
And if here I have earnestly striven
And have tried all His will to obey.
‘Twill enhance all the rapture of heaven When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
