Tune: Doncaster
('Put thou thy trust in God')
Luke 12 v.35-40
********
Be girded, ready be
For the Lord's return, see
And let your lamps be burning bright
Not obscured by the night
And do be like unto
Men, who their lord to view
Do wait, that when He returns they
May be ready that day
Blesse those servants who be
Watching diligently
For their lord's return, for he shall
Sit them down, serve them well
Whate'er hour, day or night
it may be, their lord might
Return, they blessed if he them finds
Ready with willing minds
If master of house knew
When thief would come, 'tis true
He would have watched, not allowed, sure
His house to be robbed poor
Be you ready also
For time you do not know
When Son of man returns, it be
Hour unexpectedly

He didn't come to help me when my Wife was dying so in my opinion he will never be around!
