The voice that sound in desert
It’s the voice of watchman
Hark as the voice now calling
Calling for repentance
The voice as it was sounding
Art thou not now concern’d
And why, O brothers, sisters
Do you feel unconcern’d
2.
The kingdom is now at hand
The kingdom of our Lord
And those that wash their garments
Shall sit on royal throne
Why do you feel unconcern’d?
To the voice of watchman?
Which sound new to Thee clearly
Seeking for repentance
3.
The Abner and Pharpar stream
They may be clean water
But the command of cleans
Is in river Jordan
Throw all thy thoughts to one side
And do the will of God
Now descend into this stream
And wash and be thou clean
4.
What’s now keeping you waiting?
What can be your excuse
Behold the steam and Thy John
All things are now ready
You have argued for long time
Will you die with spirit?
Sinners hear the watchman’s voice
And come to repentance
Amen
