Oh, the time is swiftly passing, and the days are going by. And on all expected mornings, sun will shine to all the sky. And from high and lofty mountains, we now hear the watchmen cry.
And with courage we'll go forward, till our king shall come. Go forward, O Zion! Great shall be thy triumph, till the king shall come. Go forward, O Zion! Great shall be thy triumph, till the king shall come.
When the ransomed of Jehovah, from east and from the west, Shall return with joy and gladness to receive the promised rest, Then shall every tribe and nation out of every land be blest, And rejoicing they shall gather, till our king shall come. Go forward, O Zion! Great shall be thy triumph, till the king shall come. Go forward, O Zion! Great shall be thy triumph, till the king shall come.
