Watchman's Warning

"Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God…  that they may seek Thy name, O LORD… that men may know that Thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth" (Psalm 83:1,16,18).  "I have set thee a watchman… therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me… I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked" (Ezekiel 33:7,11).  "A great multitude… cried… Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb" (Revelation 7:9,10).

We pray that God will not be still,

That souls may turn and humbly seek

The Savior who declares His will

Through watchmen whom He sends to speak. 

The Lord esteems each soul a treasure

For whom He suffered and He died. 

The Lord has said "I have no pleasure"

When sinners perish in their pride.   

We are the watchmen God has sent

To speak to those who yet are scorning,

That they may tremble and repent

As they have heard God's solemn warning. 

You gave us, Lord, the watchman's task

Of warning souls of condemnation. 

Our answer, to the ones who ask

Where hope is found, is Your salvation.
