“I Say Unto All, Watch.”

By H. More

WATCH is the mandate given all, Heed Christ's coming, wait his call, Till the hour, we know not when He will come, be ready then.
Keep thy conscience pure within, Let nought tempt thee unto sin, In the path of duty live, Then his coming joy will give.
Clothed in majesty divine, White, and radiant, see him shine, King of kings, and Lord of lords, Let him be by all adored.
Ah, the wicked, how they wail, Nought for them can now avail; They have scorned his holy word, Mocked the messengers of God.
Those who deemed his coming near, Saying Christ would soon appear, Have been wild fanatics called, Scorned and mocked by great and small.
Now their oil of grace is sought, None, alas! can then be bought, Raiment white cannot be found, Nor the crownless then be crowned.
Till he comes in kingly state, To reward, with patience wait; Then with joy we'll welcome him, And a crown of glory win.
