Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #223 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Hark! how the watchmen cry! Lyrics: 1 Hark, how the watchmen cry!
Attend the trumpet's sound!
Stand to your arms, the foe is nigh!
The powers of hell surround.
2 Who bow to Christ's command,
Your arms and hearts prepare;
The day of battle is at hand;
Go forth to glorious war!
3 See, on the mountain top,
The standard of your God.
In Jesus' name I left it up,
All stained with hallowed blood.
4 His standard-bearer, I
To all the nations call:
Let all to Jesus' cross draw nigh,
He bore the cross for all.
5 All power to Him is given!
He ever reigns the same.
Salvation happiness, and heaven
Are all in Jesus' name. Topics: The Gospel; Gospel Tidings; Watchfulness Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:3 Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
