lyrics

Song for Advent -

C
Hark! ’tis the watchman’s cry,
C_______G________C
“Wake, brethren, wake!”

Jesus Himself is nigh;
C_____G_______C
Wake, brethren, wake!
C
Sleep is for sons of night;
C___________F_____G
Ye are children of the light,
C
Yours is the glory bright;
C______G_______C
Wake, brethren, wake!

Call to each wakening band,
“Watch, brethren, watch!”
Clear is our Lord’s command;
Watch, brethren, watch!
Be ye as men that wait
Always at the Master’s gate,
E’en though He tarry late;
Watch, brethren, watch!

Hear we the Shepherd’s voice,
“Pray, brethren, pray!”
Would ye His heart rejoice?
Pray, brethren, pray!
Sin calls for constant fear,
Weakness needs the Strong One near
Long as ye struggle here;
Pray, brethren, pray!

Now sound the final chord,
“Praise, brethren, praise!”
Thrice holy is our Lord;
Praise, brethren, praise!
What more befits the tongue
Soon to join the angels’ songs,
While Heav’n the note prolongs,
Praise, brethren, praise!
