Awake, awake, my sluggish soul,
Awake and view the setting sun;
See how the shades of death advance,
Ere half the task of life is done.
Death! 'tis an awful, solemn sound!
Oh, let it wake the slumb'ring ear!
Apace the dreadful conqueror comes.
With all his pale companions near.
Thy drowsy eyes will soon be closed,—
These friendly warnings heard no more;
Soon will the mighty Judge approach,
E'en now he stands before the door.
To-day attend his gracious voice;
This is the summons that he sends:
"Awake,—for on this transient hour
Thy long eternity depends."
