As to each newborn morning A fresh and solemn splendor still is given, So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh and life’s shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee.

Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home? Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor, Speed, for the moments are hurrying on. 2 Heir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger? How canst thou tarry in sight of the prize? Up, and adorn thee, the Savior is coming; Haste to receive Him descending the skies. 3 Earth’s mighty nations, in strife and commotion, Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay; Listen, ’tis nought but the chariot’s loud rumbling; Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay. 4 Stay not, O stay not for earth’s vain allurements! See how its glory is passing away; Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o’er thee; Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away. 5 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; Watch for the glory of earth’s coming King; Lo! o’er the mountaintops light is now breaking; Heirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.

From its pollution, misuse, and destruction, Good Lord, deliver us, world without end! Topics: Christan Life Stewardship Tune Title: WALLOG
