\nHeir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber?
\nWhy art thou sleeping so near thy blest home?
\nWake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor,
\nSpeed, for the moments are hurrying on.<\/p>\n
2
\nHeir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger?
\nHow canst thou tarry in sight of the prize?
\nUp, and adorn thee, the Savior is coming;
\nHaste to receive Him descending the skies.<\/p>\n
3
\nEarth’s mighty nations, in strife and commotion,
\nTremble with terror, and sink in dismay;
\nListen, ’tis nought but the chariot’s loud rumbling;
\nHeir of the kingdom, no longer delay.<\/p>\n
4
\nStay not, O stay not for earth’s vain allurements!
\nSee how its glory is passing away;
\nBreak the strong fetters the foe hath bound o’er thee;
\nHeir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away.<\/p>\n
5
\nKeep the eye single, the head upward lifted;
\nWatch for the glory of earth’s coming King;
\nLo! o’er the mountaintops light is now breaking;
\nHeirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
