Dashing my foot against a stone,
Of your friends that wish you well?
Of your friends that wish you well?
Work for Christ and do your best.
Tho’ that hope be e’er so small,
Of glad­ness and glo­ry ab­ove.
Called to the feast by the King are we,
And showed her the bow of pr­omise,
Too many un­im­proved have passed,
To Heav­en, or to hell.
Coming again some glo­ri­ous day,
May nev­er hear His voice again.
The chief thing for which you live?
He may be here ere the morn­ing,
Turn not from His gen­tle plead­ing,
Will bid young flow­ers wave,
Gentle words and sim­ple song,

per­haps

When to simp­ly live is sweet,
Go head­long down to hell:
Of some sun­ny, sum­mer’s day;
Bidding me think of the by and by?
You’ll be called to meet your God.
You’ll be called to meet your God.
Now has flown from the home rest;
Heeding not the Sav­ior’s call.
You sure­ly will hast­en to go,
How will it fare, then, with thee and me
Only a word for Je­sus,
Give me, great God, a heart to pray;
Shall crawl­ing worms con­sume;
What are you do­ing, my bro­ther, I pray?
Thy last ac­cept­ed time may be:
That will cost us ma­ny a tear,
Then for­ev­er with the Sav­ior I shall be.
From His great and won­drous boun­ty
Will plant around my grave!
Fall in bless­ings on the throng.
