O Israel, To Thy Tents Repair

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11233 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Israel, to thy tents repair! Lyrics: 1 O Israel, to thy tents repair! Why thus secure on hostile ground? Thy King commands thee to beware; For many foes thy camp surround. 2 The trumpet gives a martial strain: O Israel, gird thee for the fight! Arise, the combat to maintain, And put thine enemies to flight. 3 Thou shouldst not sleep, as others do; Awake! be vigilant, be brave! The coward, and the sluggard too, Must wear the fetters of the slave. 4 A nobler lot is cast for thee: A kingdom waits thee in the skies; With such a hope, shall Israel flee, Or yield through weariness the prize? 5 No! let a careless world repose, And slumber on through life’s short day, While Israel to the conflict goes, And bears the glorious prize away.
