O Slumberer, Awake

1. O slumberer, awake,
And fly from sin's dark night;
The darkness round you falls
And fainter grows the light.

Chorus:
Awake, awake,
And make a speedy flight;
Arise, arise,
"And Christ shall give thee light."

2 O slumberer, awake,
And Mercy's call obey;
Arise, come forth in Christ,
The Light, the Truth, the Way.
[Chorus]

3 O slumberer, awake,
The cleansing blood is shed;
The Master bids you come,
The gospel feast is spread.
[Chorus]

4 O slumberer, awake;
Arise, ye dead in sin;
The Saviour gently knows,--
Oh, wont you let him in?
[Chorus]

5 O slumberer, awake,
And heed the warning voice;
It soon may be too late
For you to make the choice.
[Chorus]

6 O slumberer, awake,
The judgment draweth nigh;
How awful it will be,
If you were doomed to die.
[Chorus]
