Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Lord, her watch thy Church is keeping 
Lord, her watch thy Church is keeping: when shall earth thy rule obey? When shall end the night of weeping? When shall break the promised day? See the whitening harvest languish, waiting still the laborers' toil; was it vain, thy Son's deep anguish? shall the strong retain the spoil? 
Tidings, sent to every creature, millions yet have never heard: can they hear without a preacher? Lord almighty, give the word! Give the word! in every nation let the Gospel trumpet sound, witnessing a world's salvation, to the earth's remotest bound. 
Then the end: thy Church completed, all thy chosen gathered in, with their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; gone for ever parting, weeping, hunger, sorrow, death, and pain; Lo! her watch thy Church is keeping; Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign!
