Oh hear the watchmen cry The bridgeroom is coming Oh hear the watchmen cry From the midnight's lonely tower Listen the watchmen cries The wedding feast is dawning Keep watching the eastern sky For the chosen day and hour
Cry out that the time is near When in clouds of glory He'll appear Sing for the end of fear From the midnight's lonely tower
Oh hear the watchmen cry Oh hear the watchmen cry Oh hear the watchmen cry Oh hear the watchmen cry
God is raising up a people Clothed in light Holy people to stand through the watch of the night
And the cry goes out And the cry goes on and on and on Searching out the skies with expectant eyes Listen for the cry
God is raising up a people Robed in truth And they know what the Father has told them to do
And the cry goes out And the cry goes on and on and on All across the land The time is at hand So listen for the cry
Don't be left with a lonely heart Don't be left in a world of doubt
When you can live in the Fatherland Love too deep to comprehend Do you understand the cry goes out for you?
Will you come and join the people Standing on the heights Holy people brave enough to carry rhe fight
And the cry goes out And the cry goes on and on and on Crying out from the east Shouting out from the west Listen for the cry
Don't be left with a lonely heart Don't be left in a world of doubt
One day there'll be an angel cry It's gonna shake the earth and sky At last the world will know the reason for the cry
