Watchmen on the Towers

 [Verse 1]

What a joy to have a prophet We are privileged to be taught May his words to us now uplift May we follow as we ought Here the joy is universal As we're spirits of our God Now the gospel's in dispersal May we sing hymns to our God [Chorus] We will follow We will follow With faith and with joy [Verse 2] We've been blessed by pioneer Saints They showed courage through the years Following the prophet with faith We feel kinship with their tears Our Lord's redeemed every human And His work has been unfurled Now the gospel's reaching to them By those around all this world [Chorus] We will follow We will follow With faith and with joy [Verse 3] God speaks with a perfect clear voice Through His watchmen on the towers He calms fears and our hearts rejoice As we're blessed with love He showers There's a balm in Gilead assured As we become diligent Through the prophet, we are encouraged May we do as we've been sent [Bridge] May we learn wisdom and order And find within given strength Peace will be a lovely border When we've the Lord close at length [Final Chorus] We will follow We will follow With faith and with joy
