Will Jesus Find Us Watching (When Jesus Comes To Reward His Servants) - Beautiful Old Hymn

Hello! Is anyone else having difficulty getting up in the morning these days? Ooof, it's dark and so cold, and we had two weeks of sleeping in over the break... Biscuit and Pretzel though, can tell that it's their breakfast time, and come pawing at my face, and if I don't get up fast enough, they start gently using their claws to "help" get me out of bed. Yawn! 😴
So when we talk about the question of whether Jesus will find me watching, waiting for Him, I do hope that it won't be in winter! 😊
This is another wonderful text from Fanny Crosby (I need to put them all together in a playlist!) and another lively tune by William Doane, we've done a few of his before too.
"Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share..."
P.s. The little crotcheted potato up close, and Biscuit can read!

Cantor (fancy word for singer): KT

Will Jesus Find Us Watching (When Jesus Comes To Reward His Servants)

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?
Refrain:
O can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, watching 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 you, "Well done?" [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 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? [Refrain]

Good morning Kathryn. Thankyou for making this dark cold morning so bright. This hymn is so beautiful I have to listen to it again and again until I can sing it. I never knew it before. I would like to be ready for Jesus when He comes again. Have a good day. Love Dorita.

Thank you, Katheryn! I hear you when you say it's tough to get up when it's dark. You're lucky you have Biscuit and Pretzel to be your alarm clock! 🙂. Much nicer than waking up to a loud buzz.

[@KTSings_]

HAHAHA, shall I glean from that that you are awoken by a loud buzz???😁

[@jimmacdonald2523]

Only if I'm not already awake!
