Will Jesus Find Us Watching?
The King's Heralds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whether it be noon or night
Faithful to Him will He find us watching
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
Oh, can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul's bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching
If, at the dawn of the early morning
He shall call us one by one
When to the Lord we restore our talents
Will He answer thee, "Well done"?
Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us
We shall have a glorious rest
Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching
In His glory they shall share
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight
Will He find us watching there?
The King's Heralds's song "Will Jesus Find Us Watching?" is a religious hymn that speaks about the return of Jesus and the importance of being prepared for his arrival. The lyrics suggest that Jesus may return at any time and that it is therefore essential for his followers to remain watchful and vigilant. The song opens with the question, "When Jesus comes to reward His servants, whether it be noon or night; faithful to Him will He find us watching, with our lamps all trimmed and bright?" The imagery of lamps being trimmed and bright is symbolic of the readiness and preparedness that is required of those who await the return of Jesus.
The chorus of the song continues with the poignant question, "Oh, can we say we are ready, brother? Ready for the soul's bright home?" This question forces listeners to reflect on their readiness for the afterlife and their relationship with Jesus. The second verse of the song speaks directly to the idea of being held accountable for one's actions and one's faith. "If, at the dawn of the early morning, He shall call us one by one; When to the Lord we restore our talents, will He answer thee, 'Well done'?" This verse suggests that individuals will be judged based on their faithfulness and the good works they have done while on earth.
Overall, "Will Jesus Find Us Watching?" is a hymn that encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and to live a life that is faithful, charitable, and prepared for the second coming of Christ.
