Lyrics

Oh hear the watchman cry
The bridegroom is a-coming
Oh hear the watchman cry
From the midnight's lonely tower
Listen the watchman cries
The wedding feast is dawning
Keep watching the eastern sky
For the chosen day and hour
Cry out that time is near
When in clouds of glory He'll appear
Sing for the end of fear
From the midnight's lonely tower
Oh hear the watchman cry
Oh hear the watchman cry
Oh hear the watchman cry
Oh hear the watchman cry
God is raising up a people - clothed in light
Holy people to stand through the watch of the night
And the cry goes out
And the cry goes on and on and on
Searching out the skies, with expectant eyes
Listen for the cry
God is raising up a people - robed in truth
And they know what the Father has told them to do
And the cry goes out
And the cry goes on and on and on
All across the land, the time is at hand
So listen for the cry - hear the cry
Don't be left with a lonely heart
Don't be left in a world of doubt
When you can live in the fatherland
Love too deep to comprehend
Do you understand the cry goes out for you
Will you come and join the people -
Standing on the heights
Holy people brave enough to carry the fight
And the cry goes out
And the cry goes on and on and on
Crying out from the east
Shouting out from the west
Listen for the cry
Don't be left with a lonely heart
Don't be left in a world of doubt
One day there'll be an angel cry
It's gonna shake the earth and sky
At last the world will know the reason for the cry
God is raising up a people
Hear the cry...
