Awake! ye saints of God! awake
Call on the Lord in mighty prayer
That He will Zion’s bondage break
And bring to naught the fowler’s snare.
He will regard His people’s cry—
The widow’s tear—the orphan’s moan;
The blood of those that slaughtered lie
Pleads not in vain before His throne.
Though Zion’s foes have counseled deep
Altho’ they bind with fetters strong;
The God of Jacob does not sleep—
His vengeance will not slumber long.
Then let your souls be stayed on God;
A glorious scene is drawing nigh:
Tho’ tempests gather like a flood
The storm
tho’ fierce
will soon pass by.
Our God in judgment will come near
His mighty arm He will make bare:
For Zion’s sake He will appear
Then Oh! ye saints! awake
prepare!
Awake to union and be one
Or saith the Lord
you are not Mine;
Yea
like the Father and the Son
Let all the saints
in union join.
