"When I awake" it will be morning, The night forever past With all its glooins and fearing, With all its fever-dreaming ; Light, joyous light, at last, "When I awake," - then no more sleeping. "When I awake" it will be morning. The pathway blindly trod With footsteps weak and failing, Illumed and olear, revealing The purpose of my God. "When I awake" - then no more doubting. "When I awake" it will be morning. And no more orushing pain With all its tears and sighing, With all its grief aud orying, No more falling rain ; "When I awake, " - then nomoregrieying. "When I awake" it will be morning. Then rest, yes, perfect rest-. And no more care-wom mtising, No moantain clifiFs and climbing, No looking to the west; " Wheu I awake, " - no weary toiling. "When I awake" it will be moming; The loved ones gathered home. With no more words of parting, No trembling tear-drop starting In heaven's celestial dome; "When I awake," - then blessed greeting. " When I awake" it will be morning; A Sabbath keeping time; A seraph harp then tnning? Au angel lyre then s weeping? Ah, more than thie be mine "Wben'I awake," - the "new song" L5rSinging. ''When I awake" it will be morning; "I shall be satisfied, " No distant far-off reaching For something ever fleeting ; With Thee, the crucified, I shall awake and know no longing. "When I awake" it will be morning; Ah, then, why fearto sleep? See, from the tomb uprising The Savior intercediug; My sonl He'll safely keep Till I awake-
