Lift Up Thine Eyes, O Watchman

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1895
Composer: James Burke

Lift up thine eyes

O watch­man

The ar­mies of the Lord

Are rid­ing forth to con­quest

With buck­ler

shield and sword;

Glad tid­ings un­to Zion

That val­iant host shall ring

And shout aloud

Ho­san­na!

The Lord

the Lord is king;

And shout aloud

Ho­san­na!

The Lord

the Lord is king.

What dost thou see

O watch­man?

What dost thou see afar?

The gleam­ing of a ban­ner

The ris­ing of a star.

Then cry aloud

O watch­man

With trum­pet voice pro­claim

To all a full sal­va­tion

Through Christ

the Sav­ior’s name

To all a full sal­va­tion

Through Christ

the Sav­ior’s name.

That ra­di­ant ban­ner gleam­ing

That Star di­vin­ely bright

Shall bear to ev­ery na­tion

The bless­èd Gos­pel light;

All king­doms

crowns

and scep­ters

Be­fore the cross shall fall

And Christ shall reign tri­umph­ant

The king and Lord of all;

And Christ shall reign tri­umph­ant

The king and Lord of all.
