Lukewarm Souls, The Foe Grows Stronger,
See What Hosts Your Camp Surround;
Arm To Battle, Lag No Longer,
Hark, The Silver Trumpets Sound!
Wake, Ye Sleepers, Wake-What Mean You?
Sin Besets You Round About;
Up And Search, The World’s Within You,
Slay Or Chase The Traitor Out.

What Enchants You-Sloth Or Pleasure?
Pluck Right Eyes, With Right Hands Part;
Ask Your Conscience, Where’s Your Treasure?
For Be Certain, There’s Your Heart.
Give The Fawning Foe No Credit;
See The Bloody Flag Unfurled;
That Base Heart, The Truth Has Said It,
Loves Not God That Loves The World.
God And Mammon-Oh, Be Wiser

Serve Them Both, It Cannot Be;
Ease In Warfare, Saint And Miser:
These Can Never Well Agree.
Shun The Shame Of Basely Falling,
Cumbered Captives Clogged With Clay;
Prove Your Faith, Make Sure Your Calling,
Wield The Sword, And Win The Day.

Onward Press Unto Perfection,
Watch And Pray, And All Things Prove;
To Ensure Your Own Election,
Set Your Heart On Things Above.
Shun Backsliding, Scorn Dissembling,
Seek Salvation Through And Through;
Work It Out With Fear And Trembling-
‘Tis Your God That Works In You.
