1. Wake, O wake the world from sleeping;<br>
Watchman, watchman, what's the hour?<br>
Hark ye, only hear him saying,<br>
'Tis the last - eleventh hour!

2. Lo! the Lion's left his thicket,<br>
Up yet watchmen, be in haste,<br>
The destroyer of the Gentiles<br>
Goes to lay their cities waste.

3. Bring the remnants from their exile,<br>
For the promise is to them;<br>
Japhet's ruled the world his time out,<br>
He must leave the tents of Shem.

4. Comfort ye the house of Israel,<br>
They are pardoned, gather them;<br>
Hear the watchman's proclamation,<br>
Jews rebuild Jerusalem.

5. Soon the Jews will know their error,<br>
How they killed the Holy One,<br>
And they'll mourn and shout hosanna!<br>
This is the beloved Son.

6. Sound the trumpet with the tidings,<br>
Call in all of Abram's seed,<br>
Though the Gentiles may reject it,<br>
Christ will come in very deed.
