Awake! Awake!
VERSE 1
The
Gospel trumpet hear,
Awake!
Awake! the Master now is calling us,
Arise!
Arise! And, trusting in His Word,
Go
forth! Go forth! Proclaim the year of jubilee,
Reff
And take
the cross, the blessed 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.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
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.
