Author: Bowring Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #102 (1866) Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: Watchman! tell us of the night Lyrics:
Watchman! tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are;
Traveller! o’er yon mountain’s height,
See that glory-beaming star!
Watchman! does its beauteous ray
Aught of hope or joy foretell?
Traveller! yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel!
Watchman! tell us of the night,
Higher yet the star ascends;
Traveller! blessedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends.
Watchman! will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveller! ages are its own;
See, it bursts o’er all the earth.
Watchman! tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn;
Traveller! darkness takes its flight;
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman! let thy wanderings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home;
Traveller! lo! the Prince of Peace,
Lo! the Son of God, is come.
