O shout aloud the tidings,
Repeat the joyful strain;
Let all the waiting nations
This message hear again;
The spotless Lamb of glory,
Who once for man was slain,
Soon o�er all the earth shall reign.

Refrain

Looking for that bless�d hope,
Looking for that bless�d hope;
We know the hour is nearing,
The hour of His appearing,
We�re looking for that bless�d hope.

Signs in the Heav�n above us,
In sun and moon and sky,
Proclaim to all the faithful
Redemption draweth night;
The hearts of men are quaking,
And failing them for fear;
Jesus� coming draweth near.

Refrain

We�ll watch for His returning
With lamps well trimmed and bright;
He cometh to the careless
As thieves break thro� at night;
�Well done, thou good and faithful,�
O may we hear the word,
�Share the joy of Christ thy Lord.�

Refrain
