Heir of the Kingdom, O, why dost thou slumber?

Author: Anon. Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber? Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home? Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor, Speed, for the moments are hurrying on. 2 Heir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger? How canst thou tarry in sight of the prize? Up, and adorn thee, the Saviour is coming; Haste to receive him descending the skies. 3 Earth's mighty nations, in strife and commotion, Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay; Listen, 'tis naught but the chariot's loud rumbling; Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay. 4 Stay not, O stay not for earth's vain allurements! See how its glory is passing away; Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee; Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away. 5 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; Watch for the glory of earth's coming King; Lo! o'er the mountain-tops light is now breaking; Heirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.
