SOUND THE ALARM, WATCHMAN
1. Sound the alarm! Let the watchman
cry!-
AUp! For the day of the Lord is nigh;
Who will escape from the wrath to
come?
Who have a place in the soul’s
bright home?
Sound the alarm, watchman! Sound
the alarm!
For the Lord will come with a
conquering arm;
And the hosts of sin, as their ranks
advance,
Shall wither and fall at His glance.
2. Sound the alarm! Let the cry go
forth,
Swift as the wind, o’er the realms of
earth-
AFlee to the Rock where the soul
may hide!
AFlee to the Rock! In its cleft
abide!
3. Sound the alarm on the mountain’s
brow!
Plead with the lost by the wayside
now:
Warn them to come and the truth
embrace;
Urge them to come and be saved by
grace.
4. Sound the alarm in the youthful ear;
Sound it aloud that the old may hear;
Blow ye the trump while the day
beams last!
Blow ye the trump till the light is
past!
