Call to Serve

By John Francis Olmsted

By John Francis Olmsted

THE clarion call of warning sounds The Master's soon return To reap the harvest of the earth, And worthless dross to burn; So then while we the warning hear, Which from the Word is given, Let's heed the Master's call to live And share the gift of heaven.

How can we idly stand and gaze While signs are coming fast, Fulfilling what the Lord has said, That time will soon be past For us to change and better be, E'en tho we should desire? For when probation's door shall close We then no good aspire.

But while the Master lingers near, And leaves the door ajar, We can repent, and turn, and live, And not His purpose mar; For He desires that every soul Should heed the warning here, That we should leave all earthly sin, And hail His coming near.
