1Let Zion's watchmen all awake,

And take the alarm they give:

Now let them, from the mouth of God,

Their solemn charge receive.

2'Tis not a cause of small import

The pastor's care demands;

But what might fill an angel's heart,

And filled a Saviour's hands.

3May they, that Jesus whom they preach,

Their own Redeemer see;
