Song Lyrics
Watchman, tell us of the night, what its signs of promise are Traveler, over yon mountain’s height, see that glory beaming star Watchman, does its beauteous ray aught of joy or hope foretell Traveler, yes it brings the day, promised day of Israel
Watchman, tell us of the night; higher yet that star ascends Traveler, blessedness and light, peace and truth its course portends Watchman, will its beams alone gild the spot that gave them birth Traveler, ages are its own; see, it bursts over all the earth
Watchman, tell us of the night, for the morning seems to dawn Traveler, darkness takes its flight, doubt and terror are withdrawn Watchman, let thy wanderings cease; hie thee to thy quiet home Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace, lo! the Son of God is come
