Lyrics

Verse 1

Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are: Trav'ler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glorybeaming star! Watchman, doth its beauteous ray Aught of hope or joy foretell? Trav'ler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel!

Verse 2

Watchman, tell us of the night— Higher yet that star ascends: Trav'ler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends! Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Trav'ler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth!

Verse 3

Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn: Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn! Watchman, let thy wand'rings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home: Trav'ler, lo, the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God is come!
