Author: W. E. Penn Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #16 (1888) First Line: Should Jesus come in the early morning Refrain First Line: O can you say you are ready, brother Lyrics: 1. Should Jesus come in the early morning, Or should He come at night, Say, will He find us waiting and watching With lamps all burning bright? Chorus: O can you say you are ready, brother, Ready either day or night! O will He find us waiting and watching, Ready for the glorious sight! 2. Should Jesus come with His holy angels, With shoutings in the air, O who will then be waiting and watching, Who will His glories share? [Chorus] 3. When Jesus comes will He find us faithful, With garments pure and white, With precious sheaves all garner'd and ready, To hail Him with delight? [Chorus] 4. Yes, I am waiting and ever watching, Hoping to see Him come, That I may see Him in all His glory, Gath'ring His jewels home. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Should Jesus come in the early morning]

Towner's Revival Hymns (Chicago, 1905). He and his wife Corilla Frances Sayle adopted three children. Ordained December 4, 1880. --David W.
