What if the Master Should Come?

What if the Mas­ter should come to­night?

Would you be rea­dy to go?

Can you now say you have done the right

Or must you with shame say no?

What if the Mas­ter should come?

What if the Mas­ter should come?

Will you be rea­dy

wait­ing to go?

Oh

what if the Mas­ter should come?

What if the Mas­ter should come to­night?

Would you not trem­ble with fears?

Or could you wel­come that bliss­ful sight

Without bit­ter sighs or tears?

What if the Mas­ter should come to­night?

What if He’d say un­to thee:

Are you in dark­ness or in the light?

Then what would your an­swer be?

What if the Mas­ter should come to­night?

Summon you up to His throne

Open the books in His judg­ment light

And sen­tence to woe­ful doom?
