Hymn: Can I forget the coming Lord

1

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!

2

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.

Oh come, dearest Lord!
Come, my Lord! Oh come, my King!

3

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.

Oh come, dearest Lord!
Come, my Lord! Oh come, my King!

4

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.

Oh come, dearest Lord!
Come, my Lord! Oh come, my King!

5

Daily persisting, standing firm,
I would not fear the enemy.
The gates of hell cannot prevail;
God’s Christ will soon rule mightily.

Oh come, dearest Lord!
Come, my Lord! Oh come, my King!

6

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.

Oh come, dearest Lord!
Come, my Lord! Oh come, my King!

Can I forget the coming Lord
