Abide not in the realm of dreams, O man, however fair it seems; But with clear eye the present scan, And hear the call of God and man. Think not in sleep to fold thy hands, Forgetful of thy Lord's commands; From duty's claims no life is free, Behold, today hath need of thee. The present hour allots thy task, For present strength and patience ask; And trust His love Whose sure supply Meets all thy need abundantly.
