THE ALARM

CALL TO DUTY

HYMN 30. 8 & 7

1 We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time;
In an age on ages telling,
To be living is sublime.MIM 40.6

2 Hark! the waking up of nations,
Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth? is creation
Groaning for its latter day?MIM 40.7

3 Will ye play, then, will ye dally,
With your music and your wine?
Up! it is Jehovah’s rally!
God’s own arm hath need of thine.MIM 40.8

4 Hark, the onset! will ye fold your
Faith-clad arms in lazy lock?
Up, O up, thou drowsy soldier;
Worlds are charging to the shock!MIM 40.9

5 Worlds are charging-heaven beholding;
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now the blazoned cross unfolding,
On-right onward, for the right.MIM 42.1
