Watchman (Morning.)
8s and 7s D.
#71 in the Good Old Songs

Watchman, tell me, does the morning
 of fair Zion's glory dawn.
Have the signs that mark His coming
Yet upon thy pathway shone.
Pilgrim, rise and look around thee;
Light is breaking in the skies.
Gird thy bridal robes around thee,
Morning dawns; arise arise.

Watchman, see, the light is beaming,
brighter still upon the way;
Signs through all the earth are gleaming,
Omens of the coming day;
Then the jubal trumpet sounding,
shall awake from earth and sea
All the saints of earth now sleeping,
Clad in immortality.

See them rising up to meet Him,
As He comes down from on high;
Oh, how happy now to greet Him,
And to heaven they with Him fly.
See the pearly gates fly open,
Oh, how sweetly now they sing,
All the heavenly arches ringing,
With the praise of God their King.

Notable Quote: "While the preaching of the gospel is presented as a condition of salvation to the believer, it is in no wise a condition of salvation to the unbelieving. It will save the believer from the doctrines and commandments of men. but to the unbeliever it is foolishness. The believer can say, as did the apostle, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." Elder R. W. Thompson from an article 'Is our temporal salvation conditional? printed in the Primitive Monitor 1887 via 'The Primitive Baptist Library Quarterly Spring 2008 publisher Elder Robert Webb
