55. Awake

1. Let the nations awake to the signs of the times!
A voice that is mighty and strong,
Like the thunder of waters, proclaims to the world,
Jehovah is marching along.

Chorus:
Then awake, let us stand,
With our face to the right,
And tread 'neath our feet ev'ry wrong;
See! the kingdoms of darkness are trembling with fear,
Jehovah is marching alone.

2. Let the Christian awake to the signs of the times!
For long at the post some have slept;
O, arise! for the Master may suddenly come,
And frown at the watch you have kept. [Chorus]

3. Let the young men awake to the signs of the times!
God calls you because you are strong;
You can work in the vineyard with ardor and zeal,
For Him who is marching along. [Chorus]

4. Careless sinner, awake to the signs of the times!
Give Jesus your heart while you may;
O be washed in His blood, He will make you His child,
And take your transgressions away. [Chorus]
