134. One little hour for watching with the Master

1 One little hour for watching with the Master,
Eternal years to walk with Him in white;
One little hour to bravely meet disaster,
Eternal years to reign with Him in light!

Refrain:
Then soul, be brave, and watch until the morrow,
Awake, arise, Your lamps of purpose trim!
Your Saviour speaks across the night of sorrow:
Can you not watch one little hour with Him?

2 One little hour to suffer scorn and losses,
Eternal years beyond earth’s cruel frowns;
One little hour to carry heavy crosses,
Eternal years to wear unfading crowns! [Refrain]

3 One little hour for weary toils and trials,
Eternal years for calm and peaceful rest;
One little hour for patient self-denials,
Eternal years of life where life is blest! [Refrain]
