Watchmen on the Walls of Zion

Watchmen on the walls of Zi­on

What

O tell us

of the night?

Is the day-star now aris­ing?

Will the morn soon greet our sight?

O’er your vi­sion

Shine there now some rays of light?

O’er your vi­sion

Shine there now some rays of light?

Tell

O tell us

are the land­marks

On our voy­age all pass­èd by?

Are we near­ing now the hav­en?

Can we e’en the land des­cry?

Do we tru­ly

See the heav­en­ly king­dom nigh?

Do we tru­ly

See the heav­en­ly king­dom nigh?

Light is beam­ing

day is com­ing!

Let us sound aloud the cry;

We be­hold the day-star ris­ing

Pure and bright in yon­der sky!

Saints

be joy­ful;

Your re­demp­tion draw­eth nigh;

Saints

be joy­ful;

Your re­demp­tion draw­eth nigh.

We have found the chart and com­pass

And are sure the land is near;

Onward

on­ward we are hast­ing;

Soon the hav­en will ap­pear;

Let your voic­es

Sound aloud your ho­ly cheer;

Let your voic­es sound

Aloud your ho­ly cheer.
