On the hill­tops, on the mount­ains,
There are gleams of gold­en light,
For the pro­mised morn is dawn­ing,
And its star is grow­ing bright.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

Hallelujah! what a mo­ment,
When the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the trum­pet of the ag­es
Sound in tri­umph from the skies!

Refrain

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.
