171 What Of The Night?

Watchman on the walls of Zion,
What, O tell us of the night?
Is the daystar now arising?
Will the morn soon greet 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 passed by?
Are we nearing now the haven?
Can we e’en the land descry?
Do we truly,
See the heav’nly kingdom nigh?
Do we truly,
See the heav’nly kingdom nigh?

Light is beaming, day is coming!
Let us sound aloud the cry;
We behold the daystar 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 heaven will appear;
Let your voices,
Sound aloud your holy cheer;
Let your voices,
Sound aloud your holy cheer.
