Star of Warning and Tiding and Calling
By Lulu M. Andersen
O, weary earth-sojourner,
What of the times?
O, busy worldly-learner,
What of the times?
O, active pleasure-yearner,
What of the times?
Turn to the dial, mortals,
Look where we are!
The Wonderful One is coming:
The time is not far.
Slumber not on; you'll perish
At the flash of His star. Ho! careless life-seafarer,
Rapids are near!
Halt! struggling business-terror,
Learn what to fear.
Flee false religions' error —
The Day-star is here.
Turn to the dial, mortals,
Look where we are!
The Counselor is coming;
The time is not far.
Slumber not on; you'll perish
At the flash of His star. Learn how to meet the Saviour;
Sin now must end.
Haste! Not a moment waver —
Grace He doth lend:
Keep His commandments ever —
Never offend.
Turn to the dial, mortals,
Look where we are!
The Mighty God is coming;
The time is not far.
Slumber not on; you'll perish
At the flash of His star. Pray, O, be prayerful, mortals —
Dream not along;
Pause and be careful, mortals —
See what is wrong.
O, be o'ercomers now
And stand with the strong.
Turn to the dial, mortals,
Look where we are!
The Everlasting Father cometh;
The time is not far.
Slumber not on; you'll perish
At the flash of His star. Weep, O, repent of sinning;
God's plan is best —
Plan of the first Beginning,
Hallowed and blest.
Feel now His love so winning;
Enter His rest.
Turn to the dial, mortals,
Look where we are!
The Prince of Peace is coming;
The time is not far.
Slumber not on; you'll perish
At the flash of His star.
