1. Awake, awake the morning dawns, Behold the opening day; Arise and hast with courage bold, To run the heavenly way; For weary souls a rest remains, The end of toils, the end of pains. We soon shall break the earthly chains Thro' grace we'll soon be there. Chorus: We'll work and wait till Jesus comes, We'll work and wait till Jesus comes, We'll work and wait till Jesus comes, And then be gathered home. 2. Rejoice in hope, O trembling soul, Lift up thy tearful eys, And in the strength of Christ, theLord, Press onward to the prize. A crown of gold, a robe of white, A victor palm of glory bright, Are waiting in that world of light, Thro' grace we'll soon be there. 3. O may the fruits of joy and peace Within our souls abound, And in the vineyard of the Lord His children still be found; Then safely on the other shore, Our trials pas our journey o'er, We'll sing with dear ones gone before Praise God! We're home at last.

Composed by Fanny's husband.
