The Master's Call to Action
By H. G. Thurston
We must now arouse to action,
Do you hear the Master call?
Old and young, enlist to conquer,
Stand for right nor ever fall.
It is now no time for cowards,
But for valiant men and true.
See! the fight will soon be finished,
And a crown is waiting you. Are you weary?—Jesus knows it.
Yes, He knows the way is long,
But His strength and life He gives you,
You can conquer with a song.
When your head is tired and aching,
And you long for quiet rest,
Hear the Saviour gently whisper,
"Lay your head upon My breast." So we struggle on, dear pilgrim,
Jesus trod this way before;
When this weary life is over,
None will trouble any more.
All our cares and all our burdens
We will lay at His dear feet.
Courage! just a little longer,
We shall walk the golden street.
