ANOTHER YEAR

By Worthie Harris Holden

Worthie Harris Holden

Scarce dreamed we that so many a snow Should crown the earth, or wintry blow Sweep wild o'er sea and land, e'er He Should rule the earth in majesty, And winter's havoc cease, and bring For cold and heat perpetual spring,

But now inured to wintry woe, Too prone are we to dream that slow Will turn Time's hour-glass, e'er the night Shall break, and dawn shall burst to light, The midnight hour is past. The day Is almost here. See, while you may, The streaks of dawn across the sky, Awake! Arouse! Thy King is nigh, Bestir thyself. Thy lethargy Hath almost cost thy soul,

But he Who, robed and ready greets his King, Must make the gospel trumpet ring This warning cry, "Prepare thy God To meet. In judgment sits thy Lord, Lift high the ensign of God's seal; His judgment court hath no appeal." Then may'st thou claim the King thy Lord, And share fore'er His great reward, And through the ages dwell for aye Mid spring-time's bloom in cloudless day.
