Wake up wake up O sleeper
And rise from the dead
Wake up wake up O sleeper
And rise from the dead
We are His people drawn by grace
Chosen by His glorious name
Called to give Him all our praise
Set apart to worship Him
We must be humble now and pray
And turn from all our careless ways
And in our hearts wait for the hour
For Christ to come in awesome pow’r
We are called to righteousness
To be like God in holiness
So let all slander now subside
And flee from bitterness and rage
And soon the night will fade away
And in its place will come the day
So we must clothe ourselves in light
The armour that will help us fight
Revere the name of the Lord
And He will shine on you
He will arise with healing
And set you free
