The Watchmen


The watchmen

John Clare Stokes


Sabbath sunrise where he once sat

sins weight upon his back

to rise and deliver the word

from empty chairs yet heard


Echoing words from the watchman

lifting up one voice

together they sang for joy

eye to eye they saw

the return of the Lord to Zion.


Sabbath sunset where I sit

sins weight pressing yet

rise up my son to find

eyes and eyes upon Zion
