Hark! �tis the watchman�s cry,
�Wake, brethren, wake!�
Jesus our Lord is nigh;
Wake, brethren, wake!
Sleep is for sons of night;
Ye are children of the light,
Yours is the glory bright;
Wake, brethren, wake!
Call to each waking band,
�Watch, brethren, watch!�
Clear is our Lord�s command;
Watch, brethren, watch!
Be ye as men that wait
Always at the Master�s gate,
E�en though He tarry late;
Watch, brethren, watch!
Heed we the steward�s call,
�Work, brethren, work!�
There�s room enough for all;
Work, brethren, work!
This vineyard of the Lord
Constant labor will afford;
Yours is a sure reward;
Work, brethren, work!
Hear we the Shepherd�s voice,
�Pray, brethren, pray!�
Would ye His heart rejoice?
Pray, brethren, pray!
Sin calls for constant fear,
Weakness needs the Strong One near
Long as ye struggle here;
Pray, brethren, pray!
Now sound the final chord,
�Praise, brethren, praise!�
Thrice holy is our Lord;
Praise, brethren, praise!
What more befits the tongues
Soon to lead the angels� songs,
While Heav�n the note prolongs,
Praise, brethren, praise!
