Watch! for the morning is breaking

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.
