Can I forget the coming Lord

Can I forget the coming Lord?

No! My heart for His face now longs;

For this I plead the Father God

To Him I sing my morning songs.

Oh come

dearest Lord!

Come

my Lord! Oh come

my King!

Can I forget my watch to keep?

No! My heart for Him must awake;

To miss the rapture is my fear

And of this blinding world partake.

Can I unite with this dark age?

No! He is calling from above.

May I forsake all worldly things

Desire my Savior with my love.

Daily may I in spirit walk

Daily His pow’r of life partake

Watching and waiting till He comes

Ready for Him

all else forsake.

Daily persisting

standing firm

I would not fear the enemy.

The gates of hell cannot prevail;

God’s Christ will soon rule mightily.

Can I forget His promise firm?

To Him I call though earth be moved.

May He perfect the faith He gives

Without delay

His word be proved.
