Watchman, Tell Me of the Night

"Watchman, tell me of the night;
  I see darkness, I see strife;
I feel certain nothing's certain,
  All conspires against our life."
 
"Yes, you've spoken and you've queried,
  Morning comes but don't be wearied;
Soon the night will come again
  With its toils that then attend;
You must look out and prepare wisely,
  Be not quiet nor sit by idly.
If you'd ask then ask again—
  See His grace does now extend."

- D. Benning

based on Isa. 21:11 - 12
