Representative Text

1 Wake from thy drowsy sleep,
Yonder the day, yonder the day
Breaks o'er the golden fields,
Up and away;
Lose not the morning hours,
Balmy and clear, balmy and clear;
Toil with a cheerful heart;
Reaping is near.
Wake from thy drowsy sleep,
Yonder the day, yonder the day
Breaks o'er the golden fields,
Up and away.

2 Wake from thy drowsy sleep,
Time flies apace, time flies apace;
Go, lest another fill
Thy vacant place;
Speed to thy labor now,
Care for thy sheaves, care for thy sheaves;
Say wouldest thou bring thy Lord
Nothing but leaves?
Wake from thy drowsy sleep,
Yonder the day, yonder the day
Breaks o'er the golden fields,
Up and away.

3 Wake from thy drowsy sleep,
List to the song, list to the song
Now on the summer breeze
Floating along;
Haste ere the noontide beams
Fall from the sky, fall from the sky,
Work till the Master comes;
Rest by and by.
Wake from thy drowsy sleep,
Yonder the day, yonder the day
Breaks o'er the golden fields,
Up and away.
