If Christ Should Come Tonight

lyricist: Harriet Jones, 1897
Composer: Howard Entwisle

If our Lord should come to­night

With the bright an­gel­ic host

Would He find us in His vine­yard

Every serv­ant at his post?

Thro’ the pre­cious cleans­ing blood

Are our gar­ments clean and white?

Are we dwell­ing in the light

Should our Lord ap­pear to­night?

Are we watch­ing

are we wait­ing

In the rai­ment pure and white?

Should we joy at His ap­pear­ing

If our Lord should come to­night?

If our Lord should come to­night

Come as king and judge of all

Are there any here as­sem­bled

Who would trem­ble at His call?

Is there one

oh

is there one

Far from Je­sus and the light

Unrepentant

lost

un­done

If the Judge should come to­night?

Christ as king and judge will come

’Tis re­cord­ed in His book;

He will bid us stand be­fore Him

Not a soul will He o’er­look!

Are we rea­dy

ev­ery one?

Are we in the rai­ment white

If the Judge of all man­kind

Should ap­pear this ve­ry night?
