Watchman, oh’ how mighty are your anointed words,
pealing like thunder through the hearts of people who’ve heard.
Watchman, you stand guard over night’s peril,
and escort dawn’s coming light as a faith-filled herald!
Watchman, your voice is a trumpet of hope to me,
sharing glories untold until I see.
Watchman, your revelation shouts of a soon coming day,
when prophets will again walk the bloody cobblestones of Jerusalem to say,
Jesus is the Messiah of God, His redeeming Lamb!
Watchman, how I praise God for you my Sentinel Shepherd;
for it is with great thanksgiving that I embrace God’s gifting me with you,
lead me into Heaven.
Watchman, it is by your obedience to God’s Word and Christ’s blood,
that these magnificent words will surely be heard:
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
