The Revival

1           Unfold! unfold! Take in His light,
2     Who makes thy cares more short than night.
3     The joys which with His day-star rise,
4     He deals to all but drowsy eyes;
5     And (what the men of this world miss)
6     Some drops and dews of future bliss.

7           Hark! how his winds have chang'd their note,
8     And with warm whispers call thee out.
9     The frosts are past, the storms are gone,
10   And backward life at last comes on.
11   The lofty groves in express joys
12   Reply unto the turtle's voice;
13   And here in dust and dirt, O here
14   The lilies of His love appear!
