BE NOT WEARY.

Be not weary, saint of God, Faint not, in the heavenly road. Soon thy day of toil will close, And thy weary limbs repose. Soon, ah, soon, a heavenly prize, Shall delight thy raptured eyes.

Be not weary doing good, Oh! how blessed to do like God; But the time to labor here, Quickly hastes to disappear. Look on high for strength anew, And thy labor still pursue.

Be not weary; worldly men, Still intent on earthly gain, Day and night will labor on, Till their strength and life are gone. Wilt thou not as eager be, For the joys that never flee?

Be not weary in thy toil; Do not faint and lose thine all; Having labored, having run, Wilt thou lose all thou hast done? Leaving Christ where wilt thou go? What can earth on thee bestow?

Be not weary; lo, thy foes Thy destruction now propose; Satan, with malicious skill, Waits at length to find thee still. Watch and pray, and active be, Or his malice thou shalt see.
