Sleep not, soldier of the Cross!
Foes are lurking all around;
Look not here to find repose:
This is but thy battle-ground.
Up! and take thy shield and sword;
Up! it is the call of Heaven:
Shrink not faithless from thy Lord;
Nobly strive as he hath striven.
Break through all the force of ill;
Tread the might of passion down,—
Struggling onward, onward still,
To the conquering Saviour’s crown!
Through the midst of toil and pain,
Let this thought ne’er leave thy breast:
Every triumph thou dost gain
Makes more sweet thy coming rest.
