Let Sions Watchmen All Awake
MARLOW-John Chetham, Psalmody
Let Sion's Watchmen All Awake
1 Let Sion'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 forego;
For souls, which must forever live
In rapture, or in woe.
4 All to the great tribunal haste,
The account to render there;
And shouldst Thou strictly mark our faults
Lord, how should we appear?
5 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.
