- 1.
- Watchman, tell us of the night,
- What its signs of promise are.
- Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height,
- See that glory beaming star.
- Watchman, does its beauteous ray
- Aught of joy or hope foretell?
- Traveler, yes – it brings the day,
- Promised day of Israel.
- 2.
- Watchman, tell us of the night;
- Higher yet that star ascends.
- Traveler, blessedness and light,
- Peace and truth its course portends.
- Watchman, will its beams alone
- Gild the spot 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- Doubt and terror are withdrawn.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.
- Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace,
- Lo! the Son of God is come!
Lyrics: John Bowring, 1825
