THE WATCHMAN'S CRY.

Hark! ’tis the watchman’s cry, Wake, brethren, wake! Jesus our Lord is nigh, Wake, brethren, wake! Sleep is for sons of night; Children are ye of light; Yours is the glory bright; Wake, brethren, wake!
Call to each working band, Watch, brethren, watch! Clear is our Lord’s command, Watch, brethren, watch! Be ye as men that wait, All at the Master’s gate; E’en though he tarry late, Watch, brethren, watch.
Heed we the steward’s call, Work, brethren, work! There’s work enough for all: Work, brethren, work! This vineyard of the Lord Fresh labor will afford; Yours is a sure reward, Work, brethren, work!
Hear we the Shepherd’s voice, Pray, brethren, pray; Would ye his heart rejoice? Pray, brethren, pray! Sin calls for constant fear; Long as we struggle here, We need the Strong One near, Pray, brethren, pray!
Now sound the final chord, Praise, brethren, praise! Thrice holy is our Lord: Praise, brethren, praise! What more befits our tongues, Leading the angels’ songs, While Heaven the note prolongs? Praise, brethren, praise!
