SINNER! rouse thee from thy sleep,

Wake and o'er thy folly weep;
Raise thy spirit dark and dead, L
Jesus waits his light to shed.

2 Wake from sleep, arise from death,
See the bright and living path :
Watchful tread that path; be wise,
Leave thy folly, seek the skies.

3 Leave thy folly, cease from crime,
From this hour redeem thy time;
Life secure without delay,
Evil is the mortal day.

L

4 Be not blind and foolish still,
Call'd of Jesus, learn his will :
Jesus calls from death and night,
(Jesus waits to shed his light.

Encompass us around;
Men once like us with suff'ring tried,
But now with glory crown'd.

2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspir'd,
Strive in the Christian race;
And, freed from ev'ry weight of sin,
Their holy footsteps trace.
3 Behold a witness nobler still,
Who trod affliction's path ;
✓ Jesus, the author, finisher,
Rewarder of our faith:

4 He, for the joy before him set,
And mov'd by pitying love,
Endur'd the cross, despis'd the shame,
And now he reigns above.

5 Thither, forgetting things behind,
Press we, to God's right hand!
There, with the Saviour and his saints
Triumphantly to stand.
