Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee lightA
-
Thou that sleepest not afraidB
Men and angels thee upbraidB
Rise cry cry to God aloudC
Ere the swift hours weave thy shroudC
O for Jesus' sakeD
WakeD
-
Thee full ill doth it beseemE
Through the dark to drowse and dreamE
In the dead time of the nightA
Here is One can give thee lightA
O for Jesus' sakeD
WakeD
-
The year passeth it and allF
God shall take and shall let fallF
Soon into the whelming seaG
Of His wide eternityG
O for Jesus' sakeD
WakeD
-
Noiseless as the flakes of snowH
The last moments falter and goH
The time angel sent this wayI
Sweeps them like a drift awayI
O for Jesus' sakeD
WakeD
-
Loved and watch'd of heaven for whomE
The crowned Saviour there makes roomE
Sleeper hark He calls thee riseJ
Lift thy head and raise thine eyesJ
Now for Jesus' sakeD
WakeD
