AWAKE

By Eliza H. Morton

Ye saints of God, awake, arise! Soft glory tinges far-off skies! “Creation’s day-break” is at hand, The sunshine of a fairer land!
Your feet are on “enchanted ground.” Beware, lest sleeping you be found, When morning dawns, and splendor bright Dispels the gloomy shades of night!
“At ease in Zion”! fatal rest! Oh, know ye not the fearful test? Oh, feel ye not the need of prayer, When darkness deep is everywhere?
O church of Christ! the hour is near! Your absent Lord will soon appear! The time of labor will be o’er, When glory dawns for evermore!
Oh, till ye now the fruitful soil, And shrink not from the weary toil! A blest reward soon yours will be, E’en joy for aye—eternity!
