Keep on Watching

On the hill­tops

on the mount­ains

There are gleams of gold­en light

For the pro­mised morn is dawn­ing

And its star is grow­ing bright.

Keep on watch­ing

O ye faith­ful

For the time is draw­ing nigh—

We shall see the King of glo­ry

With His an­gels

by and by.

O the pro­mised morn is dawn­ing

When the ran­somed of the King

Shall re­turn and come to Zi­on

And His praise for­ev­er sing.

Hallelujah! what a mo­ment

When the dead in Christ shall rise

And the trum­pet of the ag­es

Sound in tri­umph from the skies!

Keep on watch­ing

be not wea­ry

For the Lord will sure­ly come;

He has said

and we be­lieve it

He will take His peo­ple home.
