THE WATCHMAN, AT HIS POST

 

The watchman, at his post;

He’s loved by some, but despised by most.

 

There he stands, proclaiming The Light;

While darkness mocks him, Oh what a sight.

 

Strengthened yet weary, and willing to die;

He pushes forward, with the Gospel Cry!

 

The Lord Jesus Christ, He’s Worthy to proclaim!

He died on The Cross, despising the shame.

 

He rose again, to the Father’s Right Hand;

Interceding for us, as we make our stand.

 

The watchman, at his post, wielding his Sword;

By the strength of The Spirit, in the Truth of His Word.

 

Standing in the Strength, of The King on His Throne!

Steadfast till the end, by His Grace Alone!

 

Fixing our eyes, on the LORD of hosts;

Press on, dear watchman.  Stand firm at your post!
