[1]
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?

[chorus]
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?

[2]
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!"?

[chorus]
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?

[3]
Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If, in our hearts, there is nought condemns us,
we shall have a glorious rest.

[chorus]
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?

[4]
Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching
in His glory they shall share
if He should come at the dawn or midnight,
will He find us watching there?

[chorus]
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?
