Pray, breth­ren, pray,
The sands are fall­ing,
Pray, brethr­en, pray,
God’s voice is call­ing.
Yon tur­ret strikes the dy­ing chime;
We kneel up­on the edge of time.

Refrain

Eternity is draw­ing nigh,
Eternity, eter­ni­ty,
Eternity is draw­ing nigh.

Praise, brethr­en, praise,
The skies are rend­ing;
Praise, breth­ren, praise,
The fight is end­ing,
Behold! the glo­ry draw­eth near,
The King Him­self will soon ap­pear.

Refrain

Watch, breth­ren, watch,
The day is dy­ing;
Watch, breth­ren, watch,
The time is fly­ing.
Watch as men watch the part­ing breath,
Watch as men watch for life or death.

Refrain

Look, breth­ren, look,
The day is break­ing;
Look, breth­ren, look,
The dead are wak­ing.
With gird­ed loins al­rea­dy stand—
Behold! the Bride­groom is at hand.

Refrain
