Text: | Awake! O Church of God, Awake! |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | [Awake, O church of God, awake] |
Composer: | D. B. Towner |
1 Awake, O church of God, awake!
No longer in thy sins lie down;
The garment of salvation take,
Thy beauty and thy strength put on.
Refrain:
Awake, O Church of God, awake!
Be purged from ev’ry sinful stain;
Awake, O Church of God, awake!
Nor bear His hallowed name in vain.
2 Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight,
And hides the promise from thine eyes;
Arise, and struggle into light,
The great Deliv'rer calls: “Arise!” [Refrain]
3 Shake off the bands of sad despair;
Assert thy blood-bought liberty;
Look up, thy broken heart prepare,
And God shall set the captive free. [Refrain]
