LyicsMy drowsy powers, why sleep ye so?
Awake, my sluggish soul;
Nothing hath half thy work to do,
Yet nothing's half so dull.
Go to the ants; for one poor grain
See how they toil and strive;
Yet we who have a heav'n to obtain,
How negligent we live!
We, for whose sake all nature stands,
And stars their courses move;
We, for whose guard the angel bands
Come flying from above;
For whom the Son of God came down,
And labour'd for our good;
How careless to secure this crown
He purchased with his blood!
