Lord, Her Watch Thy Church Is Keeping:
When Shall Earth Thy Rule Obey?
When Shall End The Night Of Weeping?
When Shall Break The Promised Day?
See The Whitening Harvest Languish,
Waiting Still The Laborers’ Toil;
Was It Vain, Thy Son’s Deep Anguish?
Shall The Strong Retain The Spoil?
Tidings, Sent To Every Creature,
Millions Yet Have Never Heard:
Can They Hear Without A Preacher?
Lord Almighty, Give The Word!
Give The Word! In Every Nation
Let The Gospel Trumpet Sound,
Witnessing A World’s Salvation,
To The Earth’s Remotest Bound.
Then The End: Thy Church Completed,
All Thy Chosen Gathered In,
With Their King In Glory Seated,
Satan Bound, And Banished Sin;
Gone For Ever Parting, Weeping,
Hunger, Sorrow, Death, And Pain;
Lo! Her Watch Thy Church Is Keeping;
Come, Lord Jesus, Come To Reign!
