Watching for souls. An ordination hymn

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Ordination First Line: Let Sion's watchman all awake Lyrics: 1 Let Sion's watchmen all awake, 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 and angel's heart, And fill'd a Savior's hands. 3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord Did heavenly bliss forego; For souls, which must forever live, In raptures, or in woe. 4 All to the great tribunal haste, Th' account to render there; And should'st 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.

Let me hide myself in thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ROCK OF AGES
