Awake! Jerusalem, awake!
1
Awake! Jerusalem, awake!No longer in thy sins lie down;The garment of salvation take,Thy beauty and thy strength put on.
2
Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight,And hides the promise from thine eyes;Arise, and struggle into light;The great Deliverer calls, Arise!
3
Shake off the bands of sad despair;Zion, assert thy liberty;Look up, thy broken heart prepare,And God shall set the captive free.
4
Vessels of mercy, sons of grace,Be purged from every sinful stain;Be like your Lord, his word embrace,Nor bear his hallowed name in vain.
