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.

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.

Watchman tell us of the night
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler darkness takes its flight
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman let your wanderings cease;
Hasten to your quiet home.
Traveler lo the Prince of Peace
Lo the Son of God is come!
