Lift up thine eyes, O watch­man,
The ar­mies of the Lord
Are rid­ing forth to con­quest
With buck­ler, shield and sword;
Glad tid­ings un­to Zion,
That val­iant host shall ring,
And shout aloud, Ho­san­na!
The Lord, the Lord is king;
And shout aloud, Ho­san­na!
The Lord, the Lord is king.

What dost thou see, O watch­man?
What dost thou see afar?
The gleam­ing of a ban­ner,
The ris­ing of a star.
Then cry aloud, O watch­man,
With trum­pet voice pro­claim,
To all a full sal­va­tion,
Through Christ, the Sav­ior’s name,
To all a full sal­va­tion,
Through Christ, the Sav­ior’s name.

That ra­di­ant ban­ner gleam­ing,
That Star di­vin­ely bright,
Shall bear to ev­ery na­tion
The bless­èd Gos­pel light;
All king­doms, crowns, and scep­ters,
Be­fore the cross shall fall,
And Christ shall reign tri­umph­ant,
The king and Lord of all;
And Christ shall reign tri­umph­ant,
The king and Lord of all.
