Watchmen, on the Walls of Zion

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1985 #601 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Watchmen, on the walls of Zion, What O tell us, of the night? Is the daystar now arising? Will the morn soon greet our sight? O’er your vision Shine there now some rays of light? O’er your vision Shine there now some rays of light? 2 Tell, O tell us, are the landmarks On our voyage all passed by? Are we nearing now the haven? Can we e’en the land descry? Do we truly See the heavenly kingdom nigh? Do we truly See the heavenly kingdom nigh? 3 Light is beaming, day is coming! Let us sound aloud the cry; We behold the daystar rising Pure and bright in yonder sky! Saints, be joyful; Your redemption draweth nigh; Saints, be joyful; Your redemption draweth nigh. 4 We have found the chart and compass, And are sure the land is near; Onward, onward we are hasting, Soon the haven will appear; Let your voices Sound aloud your holy cheer; Let your voices Sound aloud your holy cheer.

Then, brother be faithful! not long shall we stay In weariness here, and forlorn, Time’s dark night of sorrow is wearing away, We haste to the glorious morn. 3 O brother be faithful! He soon will descend, Creation’s omnipotent King, While legions of angels His chariot attend, And palm wreaths, of victory bring. O brother be faithful! and soon shalt thou hear They Savior pronounce the glad word, Well done, faithful servant, they title is clear, To enter the joy of thy Lord. 4 O brother be faithful! eternity’s years Shall tell for thy faithfulness now, When bright smiles of gladness shall scatter thy tears, A coronet gleam on thy brow. O brother be faithful! the promise is sure, That waits for the faithful and tried; To reign with the ransomed, immortal and pure, And ever with Jesus abide.

Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) Hymnal: SDAH1985 #606 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation, Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, some great decision, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever, 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And ’tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calv’ries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth, They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet the truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong; Yet that scaffold sways the future, And behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own.
