Watch! for the morning is breaking
A moment
and He will be here!
The mists and the shadows are fleeing
The darkness will soon disappear;
And He
for whom ages have waited
The Lord Who has tarried so long
Will come in an outburst of glory
A moment
and we shall be gone.
Watch! for the morning is breaking
A moment
the crown will be won!
A moment
and we shall be with Him
A moment
the journey is done!
Lord
keep us each moment unsleeping
And count us all worthy to be
In that noble band of Thy watchers
Whose life is a vigil with Thee.
