Watchman, Tell Us of the Night

Author: John Bowring Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 861 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, what its signs of promise are. Traveler, what a wondrous sight: see that glory-beaming star. Watchman, does its beauteous ray news 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 Traveler, shadows take their flight; doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, you may go your way; hasten to your quiet home. Traveler, we rejoice today, for Emmanuel has come!

Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness

Author: Anon. Appears in 254 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1 Lyrics: 1 Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness; Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more; Bright o'er thy hills dawns the day-star of gladness; Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o'er. 2 Strong were thy foes; but the arm that subdued them, And scattered their legions, was mightier far; They fled like the chaff from the scourge that pursued them; Vain were their steeds and their chariots of war. 3 Daughter of Zion, the power that hath saved thee Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be; Shout, for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee; The oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free.
