Awake! Awake!

Composer: John Sweney

Awake! Awake!

The Mas­ter now is call­ing us

Arise! Arise! And

trust­ing in His Word

Go forth! Go forth!

Proclaim the year of ju­bi­lee

And take the cross

the bless­èd cross

Of Christ our Lord.

On

on

swell the chor­us

On

on

the morn­ing star is shin­ing o’er us;

On

on

while be­fore us

Our migh­ty

migh­ty Sav­ior leads the way.

Glory

glo­ry

hear the ev­er­last­ing throng

Shout Ho­san­na! while we bold­ly march along;

Faithful sol­diers here be­low

Only Je­sus will we know;

Shouting Free sal­va­tion! o’er the world we go.

A cry for light

From dy­ing ones in hea­then lands;

It comes

it comes across the ocean’s foam;

Then haste! Oh

haste

To spread the words of truth abroad

Forgetting not the starv­ing poor

At home

dear home.

O Church of God

Extend thy kind

ma­ter­nal arms

To save the lost on mount­ains dark and cold;

Reach out thy hand

With lov­ing smile to res­cue them

And bring them to the shel­ter of

The Sav­ior’s fold.

Look up! Look up!

The pro­mised day is draw­ing near

When all shall hail

shall hail the Sav­ior King;

When peace and joy

Shall fold their wings in ev­ery clime

And Glory

hal­le­lu­jah! o’er

The earth shall ring.
