Watch, Brethren, Watch!

Verse 1

Watch, brethren, watch! The year is dying; Watch, brethren, watch! Old Time is flying; Watch as ye watch the parting breath, And as ye watch for life or death; Eternity is drawing nigh, Eternity, eternity.

Verse 2

Pray, brethren, pray! The sands are falling; Pray, brethren, pray! God’s voice is calling; Yon turret strikes the dying chime; We kneel upon the edge of time; Eternity is drawing nigh, Eternity, eternity.

Verse 3

Praise, brethren, praise! The skies are rending; Praise, brethren, praise! The fight is ending; O see, the glory cometh near, The King Himself will soon be here; Eternity is drawing nigh, Eternity, eternity.
