1. Vigil Keeper Tread firmly vigil keeper, Who watches in the night, Your master, long-awaited May come to you tonight. He will not come a rich man, To make of you a King, He comes to light your pathway, And that is everything. 1/31/3

2. Vigil Keeper You turned your eyes to heaven, Where last you saw him go; You asked when to expect him, He said that you would know, The fig tree now is blooming, The hour is at hand; He comes to end your watching And greet you man to man. 2/32/3

3. Vigil Keeper No herald will proclaim him, No voice announce his sight, He’ll come to greet you covertly, Stealing in the night, But then proclaim in triumph The way to love and peace; The kingdom will be opened, And all the vigils cease. 3/33/3
