Awake! O Ye People, the Savior is Coming

1. Awake! O ye people, the Savior is coming; He’ll suddenly come to his temple, we hear; Repentance is needed of all that are living, To gain them a lot of inheritance near. Today will soon pass and that unknown tomorrow May leave many souls in a more dreadful state Than came by the flood, or that fell on Gomorrah— Yea, weeping and wailing when grief is too late.

2. Be ready, O islands, the Savior is coming; He’ll bring again Zion, the prophets declare; Repent of your sins, and have faith in redemption, To gain you a lot of inheritance there. A voice to the nations in season is given, Prepare, oh, prepare for the kingdom’s new birth, To all the elect from the four winds of heaven; For Jesus is coming to reign upon earth.
