Keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
Matthew 24:42

Words & Music: John M. Bowman, in Gospel Praise, edited by Anthony J. Showalter & Elisha G. Sewell (Nashville, Tennessee: Gospel Advocate Publishing, 1900), number 265 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Oh, my brother, are you ready for your Lord to come?
Have you prayed to Him your erring ways to save you from?
Are you keeping in His footsteps to that heav’nly home?
Where no sorrow ever shall appear?
Refrain
Oh, my brother, are you ready for your Lord to come?
Are you fainting while the cross you bear?
Oh, keep watching, trusting, praying till you reach your home,
There a crown of glory you shall wear.
Oh, my brother, are you fainting in the heat of day?
Are you heavy laden, footsore, while upon the way?
Keep on trusting Jesus and His holy will obey,
Press on for the kingdom now is near.
Refrain
Oh, my brother, are you trusting in the Lord your God?
Are you walking in the holy paths your fathers trod?
Keep on praying while along this heav’nly way you plod,
Till your loving Savior’s voice you hear.
Refrain
Oh, my brother, are you sinking as you walk the wave?
While your Savior is so near with open arms to save,
Does your faith grow weaker while the angry storm you brave?
Keep on praying, brother, never fear.
Refrain
Oh, my brother, are you watching till the morning light
Breaks upon the fields of Eden you have kept in sight?
Is your faith unclouded thro’ the long and weary night,
Till the glorious morning shall appear?
Refrain
