Haste, Traveler, Haste! The Night Comes on
}
Haste, traveler, 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.

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.

Oh, yet a shelter you may gain,
A covert from the wind and rain;
A hiding place, a rest, a home,
A refuge from the wrath to come!

Then linger not in all the plain;
Flee for thy life; the mountain gain;
Oh, speed thee, speed thee on thy way!
