Waking, Working, Watching

"For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left His house, and gave authority to His servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore... Lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping" (Mark 13:34, 35).

Wake, my soul, your time to sleep
Will come, but not for now.
This is the time you ought to keep
Your hand upon the plow.

Work, my soul, your time for rest
Will come just after reaping.
Till that time be watching lest
Your Lord should find you sleeping.
