Would we pa­tient­ly carry the bur­dens of life,
More trust­ful­ly bear its sor­row,
If but a day long­er would end earth­ly strife,
If Je­sus were com­ing to­mor­row?

Refrain

Coming in glo­ry to earth again,
Coming in ma­jes­ty He shall reign;
Blessèd de­li­ver­ance His peo­ple obtain,
When Je­sus shall come—some to­mor­row.

Would we cheer­ful­ly work in the Mas­ter’s good cause,
More faith­ful­ly tell the sto­ry,
Upholding the ban­ner of Christ and His cross,
If Je­sus were com­ing to­morrow?

Refrain

Would we turn from the tri­fles that lure us aside,
Our guide­book more close­ly fol­low,
And seek for the bless­ing that’s ne­ver de­nied,
If Je­sus were com­ing to­mor­row?

Refrain

Let us dai­ly press on­ward with cour­age and cheer,
And hope from His pro­mise bor­row;
Be watch­ing, and wait­ing for Him to ap­pear,
Today, or it may be to­mor­row.

Refrain
