601- Watchmen, on the Walls of Zion

Christian Life: Watchfulness

1

  • Watchmen, on the walls of Zion,
  • What, O tell us, of the night?
  • Is the day-star now arising?
  • Will the morn soon greet our sight?
  • O'er your vision
  • Shine there now some rays of light?
  • O'er your vision
  • Shine there now some rays of light?

2

  • Tell, O tell us, are the landmarks
  • On our voyage all passed by?
  • Are we nearing now the haven?
  • Can we e'en the land descry?
  • Do we truly
  • See the heavenly kingdom nigh?
  • Do we truly
  • See the heavenly kingdom nigh?

3

  • Light is beaming, day is coming!
  • Let us sound aloud the cry;
  • We behold the day-star rising
  • Pure and bright in yonder sky!
  • Saints, be joyful;
  • Your redemption draweth nigh;
  • Saints, be joyful;
  • Your redemption draweth nigh.

4

  • We have found the chart and compass,
  • And are sure the land is near;
  • Onward, onward we are hasting,
  • Soon the haven will appear;
  • Let your voices
  • Sound aloud our holy cheer;
  • Let your voices
  • Sound aloud your holy cheer.
