AWAKENING, by                    
First Line: Oh, brave and high that day of evermore
Last Line: To find the father waiting at the door.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Oh, brave and high that day of Evermore,
Like yearly Aprils captured and set free,
When gentle feet that once trod Galilee
Shall walk the cool of earth; when star-words pour
Upon the air and halt the waters' surge:
"Awake, my own beloved! -- Come to Me!"
Then from the fields and fallow land shall be
Great clods upflung in one tremendous urge.

"Oh Father! ... Mother ... Oh my child, my own ..."
Shall ring the air with precious ecstasy;
Lovers shall meet, and none be left alone,
Then all shall seek Him for eternity
Like lost young children coming home once more
To find the Father waiting at the door.
