Lyics

LET Zion's watchmen all awake,

And take the alarm they give;

Yes, let them from the word of God,

Their maxims all receive.



'Tis not a cause of small import,

The pastor's care demands;

But what might fill an angel's heart,

It fill'd a Saviour's hands.



You watch for souls for which the Lord

Did heavenly bliss forego;

For souls which must forever live

In raptures or in wo.



Then let the welfare of thy flock,

Thy care and gladness be:

And be assured, O man of God,

Thy flock will care for thee.
