HASTE, traveller, haste! the night comes on, And many a shining hour is gone! The storm is gathering in the west, And thou far off from home and rest: Haste, traveller, haste. |

O far from home thy footsteps stray; Christ is the life, and Christ the way; And Christ the light; thy setting sun Sinks ere the morning is begun: Haste, traveller, haste. |

Awake, awake! pursue thy way With steady course while yet 'tis day: While thou art sleeping on the ground, Danger and darkness gather round! Haste, traveller, haste. |

The rising tempest sweeps the sky; The rains descend, the winds are high; The waters swell, and death and fear Beset thy path, nor refuge near: Haste, traveller, haste. |

O yes, a shelter you may gain; A covert from the wind and the rain; A hiding--place, a rest, a home, A refuge from the wrath to come: Haste, traveller, haste. |

Then linger not in all the plain, Flee for thy life, the mountain gain; Look not behind, make no delay, O speed thee—speed thee on thy way: Haste, traveller, haste. |

Poor, lost, benighted soul! art thou Willing to find salvation now? There yet is hope; hear mercy's call,— Truth, life, light, way, in Christ is All.: Haste to HIM, haste. |
