Unawed by dangers, thorns and briars,
Spreading along this tiresome road.
My soul ascends with strong desires,
To thee my Saviour and my God.
As in a long and winter’s night,
The watchman waits for break of day;
So waits my soul for heavenly light,
To bid me rise, and speed my way.
Oh may I reach that blissful place,
Where thy full glories shall be seen;
And there behold thy smiling face,
Without a cloud to intervene.
