16006. Awake! Ye Saints Of God! Awake

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 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!

6 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.
