Does the Morning Dawn
}
Watchman, tell me does the morning
Of fair Zion's glory dawn?
Have the signs that mark His coming
Yet upon my pathway shone?
Spurn the unbelief that bound thee,
Morning dawns, arise! Arise!
"Pilgrim, yes, arise, look round thee,
Light is breaking in the skies;"

"See the glorious light ascending
Of the grand Sabbatic year:
Hark! The voices loud proclaiming
The Messiah's Kingdom near!"
Watchman, yes, I see just yonder,
Canaan's glorious heights arise!
Salem too appears in grandeur,
Tow'ring 'neath her sunlit skies.

"Pilgrim, in that golden city,
Seated on the jasper throne,
Zion's king arrayed in beauty,
Reigns in peace from zone to zone;
There, on verdant hills and mountains,
Where the golden sunbeams play,
Pulling streams, and crystal fountains,
Sparkle in th'eternal day."

"Pilgrim, see! The light is beaming
Brighter still upon thy way;
Signs through all the earth are gleaming
Omens of the coming day;
When the last loud trumpet sounding
Shall awake, from earth and se,
All the saints of God now sleeping,
Clad in immortality."
