1. will you give him your affection?
   see the lord, he waits for you,
   pouring forth your life an offering,
   this is all for you to do.
   not for angels but for mortals
   is this narrow way to take,
   father’s heart will greatly gladden,
   if for jesus all forsake.

2. say not life is all too narrow,
   faith will gladly brave it all,
   and his word will ever quicken,
   as you hearken to his call.
   chosen one, why will you falter?
   do not doubt, ye trembling hearts,
   there is always peace and safety,
   if you boldly make a start.

3. jesus lord is soon returning,
   soon you’ll hear the trumpet blast,
   signs on earth are this proclaiming,
   as the bible doth forecast.
   wake from slumber, night is ending,
   keep your vigil, quit like men,
   lest your master finds you faithless,
   weeping will not help you then.

4. time to seek for great revival,
   it must come in old time way,
   speak the truth in all its fulness,
   matters not the price you pay.
   god will heed your patient crying
   as you battle all the way
   father knoweth all your trials
   only look to that great day.

5. truth has never failed to conquer,
   though the snares beset the way,
   christ enthroned doth watch the battle,
   he will guide till break of day.
   muster all your strength for action,
   what his grace hath wrought for you,
   be a vessel purged and holy,
   worthy of the master true.
