1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are; Trav'ler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star. Watchman, does its beauteous ray Aught of hope or joy foretell? Trav'ler, yes, it brings the day. Promised day of Israel.

2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
Trav'ler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams, alone,
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Trav'ler. ages are its own;

See, it bursts o'er all the earth.

3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight;

Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wand'ring cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Trav'ler, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo! the Son of God is come.

1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy
Thy better portion trace; [wings;
Rise from transitory things,
Tow'rd heaven, thy native place.
Sun, and moon, and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away

To seats prepared above.

2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire, ascending, seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,

Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.

3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn;
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Savior will return,
Triumphant in the skies:
There we'll join the heavenly train,
Welcomed to partake the bliss;
Fly from sorrow, care, and pain,
To realms of endless peace.

1. Je-sus on-ly! Let the vis-ion In its glo-ry pass a way; 2. When we leave the height of Tabor For earth's valleys, dim and cold, 3. When our path seems dark and lonely, Comforts failing poor and sad,

Van-ish all the light Elysian! "T is enough if Je-sus stay; 'Mid life's toil and care and labor, Friends estranged, with Je-sus on -lý

On -ly Jesus can up- hold.
We are rich, and full, and glad.

Refrain.

Je-sus only! Jesus only! Cau my inmost soul now say:

Je-sus on-ly! Je-sus on-ly! 'Tis enough if

Je-sus stay.
