Stand on Thy Watch-tower, Habakkuk the Seer

Author: John Mason Neale; John Damascene Hymnal: Hymns of the Eastern Church (5th ed.) #98 (1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: Stand on thy watch-tower, Habakkuk the Seer, And show the Angel, radiant in his light: ‘Today,’ saith he, ‘Salvation shall appear, ‘Because the LORD hath ris’n, as GOD of Might.’ The male that opes the Virgin’s womb is He; The Lamb of Whom His faithful people eat; Our truer Passover from blemish free; Our very GOD, Whose name is all complete. This yearling Lamb, our Sacrifice most blest, Our glorious Crown, for all men freely dies: Behold our Pascha, beauteous from His rest, The healing Sun of Righteousness arise. Before the ark, a type to pass away, David of old time danced: we, holier race, Seeing the Antitype come forth today, Hail, with a shout, CHRIST’s own Almighty grace. Languages: English
