Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Supplication Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's watchmen cry aloud,
And take th' alarm they give;
Now let them from the mouth of God,
Their awful charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import,
The pastor's care demands;
but what might fill an angel's thought,
And fill'd a Saviour's hands.
3 They watch for souls, for whom the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego;
For souls, who must forever dwell
In happiness or wo.
4 All to the great tribunal haste,
Account to render there:
And shouldst thou strictly mark our faults,
Lord, how should we appear.
5 May all the watchmen, when they preach,
Their own Redeemer see;
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.
Let Zion's watchmen cry aloud
