3 'Tis he that works to will, HYMN 211. III. 1. SINNER, rouse thee from thy sleep, Wake, and o'er thy folly weep; Raise thy spirit dark and dead, Jesus waits his light to shed. 2 Wake from sleep, arise from death, See the bright and living path: Watchful tread that path; be wise, Leave thy folly, seek the skies. 3 Leave thy folly, cease from crime, 4 Be not blind and foolish still; HYMN 212. C. M. O! what a cloud of witnesses Men once like us with suffering tried, 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, 3 Behold a witness nobler still, 4 He, for the joy before him set, 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, GLORIA PATRI.
