 | THE REVIVAL. by Henry Vaughan
 
 
 UNFOLD ! unfold !  Take in His light,
 Who makes thy cares more short than night.
 The joys which with His day-star rise
 He deals to all but drowsy eyes ;
 And, what the men of this world miss
 Some drops and dews of future bliss.
 
 Hark ! how His winds have chang'd their note !
 And with warm whispers call thee out ;
 The frosts are past, the storms are gone,
 And backward life at last comes on.
 The lofty groves in express joys
 Reply unto the turtle's voice ;
 And here in dust and dirt, O here
 The lilies of His love appear !
