Christ in Song Hymn 180 of 300

The Historic Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal

180. We Know Not The Hour

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.

CHORUS
He will come. (He will come)
Let us watch and be ready;
He will come… (He will come)
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
He will come in the clouds, of his Father’s bright glory;
But we know not the hour.

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.

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,
ev,ry omen discerning,
But we know not the hour.
