Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 271 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's watchmen all awake,
And take th'alarm they give;
Now let them from the mouth of God
Their solemn charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import
The pastor's care demands;
But what might fill an angel's heart,
And filled a Saviour's hands.
3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forgo;
For souls, which must forever live
In raptures or in woe.
4 May they that Jesus, whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer see;
And watch Thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for Thee.
Amen. Topics: Church Ministry; Ministry Calling and Work; Ministry Prayer for Used With Tune: MARLOW
