Earthly joys no longer please us,
Here would we renounce them all,
Seek our only rest in Jesus—
Him our Lord and Master call.
Faith, our languid spirits cheering,
Points to brighter worlds above,
Bids us look for his appearing—
Bids us triumph in is love.
May our lights be always burning,
And our loins be girded round,
Waiting for our Lord’s returning—
Longing for the welcome sound!
Thus the Christian life adorning,
Never will we be afraid;
Should he come at night or morning
Early dawn or evening shade.
