The Use of Present Opportunities.
1Children of light, awake,
At Jesus' call arise,
Forth with your leader to partake
His toils, his victories.
2Ye must not idly stand,
His sacred voice who hear;
Arm for the strife the feeble hand,
The holy standard rear.
3Nought doth the world afford,
But toil must be the price;
Wilt thou not, servant of the Lord,
Then toil for paradise?
4Awake, ye sons of light,
Strive till the prize be won;
Far spent already is the night;
The day comes brightening on.
