ADVENT HYMN

Lo! THE Advent cry is sounding, Christians, rouse ye from your sleep! Cast away the works of darkness, O'er your sins and follies weep. Gird ye with your Christian armor, In this time of mortal life; Wake! to do your Master's service, He will aid you in the strife.
Sleep no longer! Life is passing, Soon the warfare will be done; Work! while yet the day is lasting, Night is coming quickly on. Watch and pray! the Bridegroom cometh! Trim your lamps! be ready all; Go ye out, prepared to meet him, When ye hear the midnight call.
Stir us up, Lord, we beseech thee, Give us grace thy work to do, So that, bearing fruit in plenty, Thou shalt thus reward us too. Then, on that great day of Judgment, When in majesty he come, We shall rise to life immortal In our glorious, heavenly home. —Sel.
