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 verge of time :
Eternity is drawing nigh ! Eternity is drawing nigh !
2. 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 :
3. Watch, brethren, watch ! The year is dying ; Watch, brethren, watch ! Old time is flying ! Watch as men watch the parting breath, Watch as men watch for life or death :
4. Look, brethren, look ! The day is breaking ; Hark, brethren, hark ! The dead are waking : With girded loins all ready stand ; Behold, the Bridegroom is at hand !
Eternity is drawing nigh ! Eternity is drawing nigh ! is drawing nigh !
