What of the Night?

What of the night? O watchman in Zion! Moveth the darkness to bring in the dawn? Breaketh there not in the distant horizon Glimmers of light that foretoken the morn?
What of the night? O watchman in Zion! Hark! on the hill-tops a song from the sky, Valleys with gladness re-echo the chorus, Sing! for the day of the Lord draweth nigh!
See ye the dawn? O watchman in Zion! Waiteth thy hosts for the tread of their King? Lo! 'tis the hour of thy glorious triumph; Rise from thy resting, new victories bring!
Hear ye the war cry? O watchman in Zion! Shoutings that ring from the camp of the Lord! Where are the signs of thy jubilant legions? Sleepeth thy warriors in helmet and sword?
Rouse from thy slumber, and gird thee for battle!, Off from thy spirit dead lethargy fling! Rally thy hosts to thy conquering standard! Banner of holiness! cross of thy king!
