What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height,

Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; its brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.

Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beam alone
Gild the sport that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See, it bursts o'er all the earth.
3. 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Doubt and terror are withdrawn.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.

Lo, the Son of God is come. Languages: English

Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part;

And, O Holy Ghost, to thee,

And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory,

A bulwark never failing;

From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.

We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.
4. That word above all eartly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English
