“TILL HE COME.”

BRETHREN, wake! the Morning Star, Bright herald of the dawn, Reminds us, from those realms afar, Of Jesus — “till He come.”
Brethren, rise! yon golden cloud Spread forth to meet the sun, Join in an anthem, long and loud, Praise Jesus — “till He come.”
Brethren, work! the field is large; Gather the harvest home; Go, sow and reap: that is the charge Of Jesus — “till He come.”
Brethren, haste! the time is short, The work not nearly done; The heathen dark must still be taught Of Jesus — “till He come.”
Brethren, pray! for only so Can precious souls be won; To Jesus every moment go, To Jesus — “till He come.”
Brethren, come! the table’s spread, Jesus would have us one; Drink of the wine, and break the bread, In memory — “till He come.”
Brethren, wait! not long will He Be absent from His own; His waiting bride may weary be, Yet, patience! — “till He come.”
Brethren, hark! Catch ye the sound Of trumpets’ distant tones? Brethren, watch! that ye be found Ready, when Jesus comes.
