Arise! He Calleth Thee

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

Arise! he calleth thee! Not to a conflict fraught with woe, Where carnage reigns and death-floods flow, But to a warfare armed in light With triumph sure, for God is might, And faith gives victory.
Arise! he calleth thee! Not unto grief with hopeless fear, Stricken, alone, midst midnight drear,— But unto suffering with Christ thy Lord, Sharing with him his blest reward Of joy through eternity.
Arise! he calleth thee! Not to the pomp earth's plaudits win, Fickle, and fleet, and smirched by sin, But to a mansion in the skies,— Effulgent glory, where the wise Shall shine eternally.
Called art thou to a robe and a crown; Called to proclaim where God's treasures abound; Called to be constant, and loyal, and true, Doing with thy might what he bids thee to do,— Called to excel in thy faith, hope, and love, Knowing that triumph awaits thee above.
