Thy ¤watch¤men cease not ¤day nor night,
But ¤un¤to ¤Thee, O ¤Lord, they cry;
Their ¤prayers and sighs pre¤¤vent Thy wrath
While ¤pros¤trate ¤at Thy feet they lie,
With ¤weep¤ing sore their ¤eyes are dim,
Un¤til Thou ¤bless Je¤ru¤sa¤lem.

In¤¤spired by love they ¤can¤not rest,
Re¤¤mem¤b’ring ¤all Thy ¤grief and pain,
To ¤ran¤som souls with ¤Thine own blood
They ¤feel thine ¤a¤gon¤ies a¤gain,
Un¤¤ceas¤ing¤ly they ¤in¤ter¤cede,
Bless Thou Je¤¤ru¤sa¤lem in¤deed.

Lord, ¤set Thy watch¤men ¤on the walls,
And ¤may they ¤nev¤er ¤hold their peace,
But ¤plead Thy gra¤cious ¤prom¤is¤es
With ¤fer¤vent ¤prayers which will not cease,
Till ¤heaven is moved in ¤Je¤sus’ name,
And peace reigns ¤in Je¤ru¤sa¤lem.

Ye ¤watch¤men plead¤ing ¤night and day,
Faint ¤not– His ¤Word shall ¤nev¤er fail,
God ¤will a¤venge you ¤speed¤i¤ly
Pray ¤al¤ways, ¤thou shalt sure pre¤vail;
Have ¤faith in God, re¤¤mem¤ber Him
Who lives to ¤bless Je¤ru¤sa¤lem.
