We know not how soon His re­turn will be;
We know not how soon His dear face we will see,
But we know He is com­ing for you and for me:
Jesus is com­ing some day.

O bro­ther, be work­ing for Christ your Lord,
For all of your do­ings He’ll dai­ly record,
And soon He’ll be com­ing to give the re­ward:
Jesus is com­ing some day.

Keep lamps trimmed and burn­ing what­ev­er you do;
Yes, faith­ful and loy­al and ev­er be true,
And know that He sure­ly is com­ing for you:
Jesus is com­ing some day.
