Hiveopenmic week 296 a cover of hymn done by @fasacity.
“Will Jesus Find Us Watching” is a powerful gospel hymn written by Fanny J. Crosby, a well-known blind hymn writer whose songs greatly influenced Christian worship in the 1800s. The hymn was published in 1876.
The message of the hymn is about being watchful and prepared for the return of Jesus Christ. It is inspired by Bible stories where Jesus tells His followers to stay alert and ready for His coming.
The lyrics encourage Christians to live faithfully, obey God, and keep doing His work while waiting for Jesus. It reminds believers to hold on to their hope and stay committed. The repeated question in the chorus challenges every listener: When Jesus returns, will He find us watching and ready?
lyrics
- 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?
Refrain:
O can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, watching when the Lord shall come? - 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 you, "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?
