Two Calls
The call to earth is loud and strong.
It cries, "This life is far too long.
What struggles you have faced 'till now;
Behold the sweat upon your brow!
For Night is black, and friends are few
That would the darkness bear with you.
Come join the armies now at rest.
Come sleep the slumber of the blest."
Yet calls Another in the night,
"Hold fast your ground. Stand up and fight!
I'll never leave you: fowl or fair.
Though tempests rage; though fires flare.
I'll lead you through the angry night,
Until breaks forth the morning light.
I have you ever in my sight.
Hold fast your ground. Stand up and fight!"
