The Cry

Oh hear the watchman cry
The bridegroom is a-coming
Oh hear the watchman cry
From the midnight's lonely tower
Listen the watchman cries
The wedding feast is dawning
Keep watching the eastern sky
For the chosen day and hour

Cry out that time is near
When in clouds of glory He'll appear
Sing for the end of fear
From the midnight's lonely tower

Oh hear the watchman cry
Oh hear the watchman cry
Oh hear the watchman cry
Oh hear the watchman cry

God is raising up a people - clothed in light
Holy people to stand through the watch of the night

And the cry goes out
And the cry goes on and on and on
Searching out the skies, with expectant eyes
Listen for the cry

God is raising up a people - robed in truth
And they know what the Father has told them to do

And the cry goes out
And the cry goes on and on and on
All across the land, the time is at hand
So listen for the cry - hear the cry

Don't be left with a lonely heart
Don't be left in a world of doubt
When you can live in the fatherland
Love too deep to comprehend
Do you understand the cry goes out for you

Will you come and join the people -
Standing on the heights
Holy people brave enough to carry the fight

And the cry goes out
And the cry goes on and on and on
Crying out from the east
Shouting out from the west
Listen for the cry

Don't be left with a lonely heart
Don't be left in a world of doubt
One day there'll be an angel cry
It's gonna shake the earth and sky
At last the world will know the reason for the cry

God is raising up a people

Hear the cry...
