1. Watch! For the morning is breaking,
  A moment, and He will be here!
  The mists and the shadows are fleeing,
  The darkness will soon disappear;
  And He, for whom ages have waited,
  The Lord Who has tarried so long,
  Will come in an outburst of glory,
  A moment, and we shall be gone.
2. Watch! for the morning is breaking,
  A moment, the crown will be won!
  A moment, and we shall be with Him,
  A moment, the journey is done!
  Lord, keep us each moment unsleeping,
  And count us all worthy to be
  In that noble band of Thy watchers,
  Whose life is a vigil with Thee.
