The Hour is at Hand

Mary  E. Coe
Sleep On, Sleep On
Thou, my disciples
Sleep on and take your rest
For behold, he is at hand
Who doth betray Me
Sleep on and take your rest

Behold! Behold!
The hour is at hand
He is betrayed into the hands
of sinner men

Of the twelve, one who hath
now gone astray
A kiss from Judah,
and He was betrayed,

Rise up and let us be going
For, behold My hour is at hand
Rise, ye, up and let us be going
For, he is at hand
who doth betray the Son of Man

They took hold of Jesus as
He stood there
A disciple, did cut off the servants ear

Put up thy sword into its place
There let it stay
Legions of Angels My FATHER
would send me if I but pray

Rise up and let us be going
For, behold My hour is at hand
Rise, ye, up and let us be going
For, he is at hand
Who doth betray the Son of Man.
