Misc Praise Songs – Sandra Lowen - The Vigil Keeper (Guitar)

      Em                        G       D      Em
Tread firmly, vigil keeper, who watches in the night;

                               G       A     B
Your master, long awaited, may come to you tonight.

Em Am              Em           Am            Em
He will not come a rich man, to make of you a king;

   A                   Em                   B    Em
He comes to light your pathway, and that is everything.

    Em                                G        D       Em
You turned your eyes to heaven, where last you saw him go; 

                                 G         A         B
You asked when to expect him; he said that you would know. 

Em  Am              Em            Am         Em
The fig tree now is blooming; the hour is at hand; 

   A                 Em                      B      Em
He comes to end your watching, and greet you man-to-man.

   Em                           G       D          Em
No herald will proclaim him, no voice announce his sight. 

                                  G        A      B
He'll come to greet you covertly, stealing in the night. 

Em  Am               Em          Am              Em
But then proclaim in triumph the way to love and peace; 

    A               Em                  B      Em
The kingdom will be opened, and all the vigils cease.
