[Jesus, inspire the watchful power]

Jesus, inspire the watchful power,
And set me on Thy cross's tower,
Till life's sad moment's o'er:
Here may I still my station keep,
And never fold my arms to sleep,
And never slumber more.

69

O might I in Thy likeness wake,
Thy spotless purity partake
And fix my wishful eye,
Till coming in the clouds I see
Thy mild, triumphant majesty,
And to Thy bosom fly.
