1
Watch, ye saints, with eyelids waking; Lo! the powers of heaven are shaking; Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning, Ready for your Lord's returning.
2
Lo! the promise of your Savior, Pardoned sin and purchased favor, Blood-washed robes and crowns of glory; Haste to tell the joyful story.
3
Kingdoms at their base are crumbling, Hark! His chariot wheels are rumbling; Tell, O her latest pangs is summing; Earth her grace abound-ing.
4
Nations wane, though proud and stately; Christ His kingdom has-tened greatly; While the sevenfold trump is sound-ing, Shout, ye saints, your Lord is coming.
5
Sinners come, while Christ is pleading; Now for you He's interceding; Haste, ere grace and time diminished Shall proclaim the mystery finished.

Chorus

Lo! He comes, lo! Jesus comes; Lo! He comes, He comes all-glorious! Jesus comes to reign victorious, Lo! He comes, yes, Jesus comes.
