I know not the hour of His com­ing,
Nor how He will speak to my heart;
Or whether at morn­ing or mid-day,
My spir­it to Him will depart.

Refrain

But I know I shall wake in the like­ness
Of Him I am long­ing to see;
I know that mine eyes shall be­hold Him,
And that is enough for me.

I know not the bliss that awaits me,
At rest with my Sav­ior above;
I know not how soon I shall enter,
And bathe in the ocean of love.

Refrain

Perhaps in the midst of my la­bor,
A voice from the Lord I shall hear;
Perhaps in the slum­ber of mid­night,
Its mes­sage may fall on my ear.

Refrain

I know not, but O I am watch­ing,
My lamp ev­er burn­ing and bright,
I know not if Je­sus will call me
At morn­ing, at noon or at night.

Refrain
