1 Awake, awake, O Zion,
Put on thy strength divine,
Thy garments bright in beauty,
The bridal dress be thine:
Jerusalem the holy,
To purity restored;
Meek Bride all fair and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord.

2 From henceforth pure and spotless,
All glorious within,
Prepared to meet the Bridegroom,
And cleansed from every sin;
With love and wonder smitten,
And bowed in guileless shame,
Upon thy heart be written
The new mysterious name.

3 The Lamb who bore our sorrows,
Comes down to earth again;
No sufferer now, but victor,
For evermore to reign:
To reign in every nation,
To rule in every zone,
Oh, world-wide coronation,
In every heart a throne.

4 Awake, awake, O Zion,
Thy bridal day draws nigh,
The day of signs and wonders,
And marvels from on high.
The sun uprises slowly,
But keep thy watch and ward:
Fair Bride, all pure and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord.

1 Awake! awake! O Zion!
Put on thy strength divine—
Thy garments, bright in beauty—
The bridal dress be thine:
Jerusalem the holy,
To purity restored;
Meek bride, all fair and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord.

2 From henceforth pure and spotless,
All glorious within,
Prepared to meet the Bridegroom,
And cleansed from every sin;

3 Jerusalem the holy,
In light and peace behold;
Her glowing altars flaming,
Her candlesticks of gold.
The heav’nly Bridegroom’s dwelling,
The place of David’s thrones;
Her solemn anthems swelling,
Her pavement precious stones.

4 Jerusalem, victorious
In triumph o’er her foes;
Mount Zion, great and glorious,
Thy gates no more shall close:
Earth’s millions shall assemble
Around thy open door,
While hell and Satan tremble,
And earth and Heav’n adore.

5 The Lamb who bore our sorrows
Comes down to earth again;
No sufferer now, but victor,
For evermore to reign;
To reign in every nation,
And rule in every zone:
O world-wide coronation!
In every heart a throne.

6 Awake! awake! O Zion!
Thy bridal day draws nigh—
The day of signs and wonders,
And marvels from on high:
The sun uprises slowly,
But keep thou watch and ward;
Fair bride, all pure and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord.
