Lyrics

1. Hear the watchmen in Zion! They day and night declare: "Jesus extends salvation and blessed, heav'nly care!" With plowing and sowing, with weeding and hoeing, a harvest preparing, the watchmen today, a harvest preparing, watchmen today.
2. Hear the watchmen in Zion proclaim the word of God: "Hearken, do not stand idle, nor find wrong paths you've trod." With sickle they're reaping, they haste without sleeping, the ripe wheat to harvest, the watchmen today, the ripe wheat to harvest, watchmen today.
3. Hear the watchmen in Zion: "This is the time of grace! Wake and arise, all sinners, God's altar now embrace!" With passion and feeling, their mission revealing, the wild growth removing, the watchmen today, the wild growth removing, watchmen today.
4. Hear the watchmen in Zion who day and night declare: "Ever be wise and watchful, for Christ's return prepare." With food they're providing, God's children are guiding, the truth they're declaring, the watchmen today, the truth they're declaring, watchmen today.
Refrain: God by grace us elected, not like chaff soon rejected. Redeem the time, amend your ways, redeem the time, amend your ways. The watchmen, the watchmen, the watchmen are calling today.
