Tell me watchman now what of the morning
Is the end of the night coming soon
I’ve been waiting and praying and longing
For the One who is faithful and true
For I know He’s the hope for the helpless
And a comfort to all those who mourn
Is the song of His glorious returning
Rising up on the wings of the dawn
His morning comes and O the sun will rise again
And all of the earth will be filled with His glorious light
And even when the day is short and evening comes
I know in Him even darkness even the darkness is light
Tell me watchman now what of the morning
For we sing of the Light of the world
And we sing of the One they call Jesus
Who is mighty in deed and in word
For I know He’s the Son of the Highest
And I know that His victory is won
And the song of His glorious returning
Rises up on the wings of the dawn
