The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13007

13007. Arouse Ye, Awake!

1 Ye slumbering Christians, arouse ye, awake!r /> The captives to free and the strongholds to take!r /> So many are out in the byways of sin,r /> And Jesus entreats you to gather them in.r />

Refrain:r /> Ye slumbering Christians, arise and go forth;r /> Go gather immortals of infinite worth.r />

2 Go forward! Go forward, and prove by your toil,r /> That God’s Holy Spirit is leading the while!r /> True faith and good works go together alway,r /> And blessings await for the souls that obey. [Refrain]r />

3 Your beautiful garments, O Zion, put on,r /> And labor with zeal for the Infinite One!r /> Go forth with your hearts overflowing with love,r /> And win precious souls for the kingdom above. [Refrain]
