Text Based On Hebrews Chapter 13
Obey them that have the rule over you,
and submit yourselves: for they watch
for your souls, as they that must give
account, that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief:

Let Zion's Watchmen All Awake

Let Zion's watchmen all awake
And take the warning given;
Now let them, from the mouth of God
Their awful charge receive.

Tis not a cause of small import
The elders care demands;
But what might fill an angel's heart
And filled a Savior's hands.

We watch for souls for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego;
Those that have tasted His rich grace,
And seek His will to know.

All to the great tribunal haste
The account to render there;
And shouldst Thou strictly mark our faults
Lord, where should we appear?

May that same Jesus, Whom we preach,
Their own Redeemer be;
And watch Thou daily o'er our souls,
That we may watch for Thee.
