Author: Eliza R. Snow Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16006 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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. Languages: English Tune Title: WLLARD
Awake! Ye Saints Of God! Awake
