Arouse Thee!

lyricist: Americus Conner, 1895
Composer: William Hackleman

Oh sin­ner

arouse thee!

The day is draw­ing nigh;

When Je­sus is com­ing

With pow­er from on high.

Arouse thee! arouse thee!

Oh sin­ner

awake!

Arouse thee! arouse thee!

And all thy sins for­sake!

If Je­sus were com­ing

In all His pow­er to­night

Then thou couldst not meet Him

Thy heart would not be right.

Oh how canst thou spurn Him

Who died up­on the tree

To pur­chase sal­va­tion

So free­ly of­fered thee.

Thy friends now en­treat thee

To come

ac­cept His love

O join with thy loved ones

In praise to Him above.

He on­ly com­mands thee

To hear

be­lieve

re­pent

Confess and ob­ey Him;

Then feel thy heart’s con­tent.

Prepare for His com­ing

The way is of­fered thee;

Obey His com­mand­ments

And hap­py thou shalt be.
