Awake and Watch

Awake and watch! the light is dawn­ing;

Awake! the night will soon be gone;

In Ori­ent sky there gleams the morn­ing—

Arise

and gird thine ar­mor on.

Awake! the night will soon be gone;

Arise and gird thine ar­mor on!

Awake! the night will soon be gone;

Arise and gird thine ar­mor on!

The Day Star bright o’er all is shin­ing—

Awake and hail the com­ing day!

Renew thy strength

cease all re­pin­ing

Awake

arise

and watch and pray.

There waits for thee a heav­en­ly greet­ing;

Haste then

thy mas­ter’s call ob­ey;

Soon

soon shall end thy night of weep­ing;

Thy God shall wipe thy tears away.

The King! the King! the call comes ring­ing;

O Church of Christ! O Zi­on free!

Look up and join the heav­en­ly sing­ing;

Thy king is com­ing soon for thee.
