_ _ [Dm] _ _ And [Am] behind the veil of what is seen, the [B] natural eye, _ [Am] a great event is being prepared.
[Dm] _ _ A war [Am] and a wedding feast will have their [B] place in time.
_ _ [Am] Soon and not yet is the word that the watchman gives as he strains his eyes through the darkness
of the night mist.
[Dm] _ _ He can [Am] sense that just beyond the horizon, [Dm] a great brightness is [Am] preparing to break forth.
_ [Dm] _ [Am] Arise, you sleepers.
Shake off your slumber, he [Dm] calls.
Come and [Am] fill your lamp with fresh oil.
[B] _ _ _ [Am] Trim your wick.
_ [Dm] Cry out in the streets and do not let your [Am] voice be silent.
For [Dm] the coming of the great king is at hand.
[Am] _ _
Arise and [Dm] shine for your light has come.
[Am] The glory of the Lord has risen upon [Dm] you.
_ Only [Am] wait for the Lord.
_ [Dm] Be strong and of a good [Am] courage.
And wait for the [Dm] Lord.

They make [Am] constant mention.
_ _ [G] _ They will give [F] no sleep to their eyes [Am] until God [G] _ [F] establishes grace.
_ _ _ There will be [G] no peace in their nights [Am] until the Lord [G] makes Jerusalem [F] a praise.

_ [G] _ _
Tabernacle [F] is rising right now [Am] in the hearts [G] of those [F] who believe. _ _ _
There's the sound [G] of a freedom shout [Am] rising up [G] from under [F] your _ _ feet. _

Raise up watchmen out of every nation.
_ _ Raise up those who will stand unafraid in the night hour.
Who will give no sleep to their eyes.
No peace or rest give them to you, Lord, until you make Jerusalem a praise in all [Eb] the earth.
You have sworn it by your name.
[N] _ Hallelujah. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And so blow a shofar in Zion. _
Sound the alarm on my holy mountain, says the Lord, for the day of the Lord is at hand.
