Look up, my weary soul,
A brighter day for thee is drawing nigh
For morning beams are flashing In the sky
Book up with faith, my soul
Not always night shall keep
Its heavy shades around thine onward path
For morning comes, though long, TO him who hath
soul that will not sleep.
Let me not sumber here
There il n toll which calls the valiant heart
Forth to the str,fs in which the victor's part
IL with many tear
Not always doubt shall AL

For, through the twilight, hope shall come again
And nerve his freedom will.
Look up with sterner gaze

That trial Is the souls true discipline,
Invoking louder praise.
In all lfe's lessons learn
That true men through their trials pprsevere.
Winter but comes, with all its storms severe,
To hasten springs return,
Joy fills the golden cupl
It's thine once more TO qneh the nectar sweet,
And newborn songs In graceful susias repeat
Look up, my soul look upl
