Awake from Thy Sadness
By Sr. C. Hemenway
Sr. C. Hemenway writes from Vermont: I am willing to bear the scoffs and frowns of the world if I can have the favor of God. I must be purged from all iniquity. I must be clothed upon with the whole armor of righteousness. I feel somewhat the importance of watching, yet I am sensible I am not so fully awake as is demanded by the importance of this hour when the enemy has so much power. Sometimes I feel a discouragement almost insurmountable; and anon seem to hear a still small voice from a higher Power, saying, “Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness!
Awake! for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.”
I would consider Him who hath endured so much for me, lest I be weary and faint in my mind.
