Ye Men of Christ, Awake!

Representative Text

1. Ye men of Chirst awake!
The night is past and gone,
Why stand ye in the market-place
Thus idly looking on?
Awake, awake,
Ye men of Christ, awake!

2. Ye men of Christ, go forth!
The Master calls today;
To West and East; to South and North,
He bids you haste away.
Go forth! go forth!
Ye men of Christ, go forth!

3. Ye men of Christ, proclaim
That Christ, your Lord, is King!
Till all the earth revere His Name
And loyal homage bring.
Proclaim! proclaim!
That Christ, your Lord is King!
