Are you wait­ing for the com­ing of the King?
Have your lives been purged
Of all their sin and dross?
With the heal­ing blood ap­plied,
Can you praise the Cru­ci­fied
For your glo­ri­ous re­demp­tion
Thro’ the cross?

Refrain

Are you look­ing for the King?
For the com­ing of the King?
Are your lamps all trimmed and burn­ing
While He waits?
Can you join the ran­somed throng
In their grand, tri­um­phant song,
As the shin­ing ones come sweep­ing
Thro’ the gates?

Are you wait­ing for the com­ing of the King?
Are you rea­dy in your hearts
And in your homes?
Are you long­ing for the day
When the mists shall roll away
And re­veal the Lord of glo­ry
When He comes?

Refrain

Are you list­en­ing for the com­ing of the King?
Have your sins tho’ scar­let
All been blot­ted out?
Are they spot­less robes you wear
For the meet­ing in the air
When des­cend­ing hosts pro­claim
Him with a shout?

Refrain

Are you watch­ing for the com­ing of the King?
For the light to break re­splen­dent
In the east?
For the gates to op­en wide
When the Bride­groom with His bride
Shall as­cend to ce­le­brate
The mar­riage feast?

Refrain
