Melodious Sonnets ‎#13

13. Rouse, Ye Saints

1 Rouse, ye saints, the world is dying,
We must work while it is day;
Sinners lost to us are crying
For the strait and narrow way.

Refrain:
We well work from morn till night,
By the Spirit’s power and might
Leading men unto the Light,
Blessed Light of Day!

2 Wake, ye men, let us be doing,
While the sun is in the sky;
Let us seek the weak and erring,
Precious souls that soon may die. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, Saviour, help our spirits,
That we never weary be
Leading sinners to the Fountain
Ever flowing, full and free. [Refrain]
