[The vigilance our Lord demands]

Watch therefore: for ye know not what, &c. —xxiv. 42.

The vigilance our Lord demands
Asks all our time, and hearts, and hands,
Our patient toil, our active zeal,
Our utmost strife to do His will:
By faith, and penitence, and prayer,
We for that unknown hour prepare,
By reaching toward the things above,
By humblest fear and warmest love.
