Awake and Arise

Hymns (1985, 2021-digital), no. 8

1. Awake and arise, O ye slumbering nations!The heavens have opened their portals again.The last and the greatest of all dispensationsHas burst like a dawn o’er the children of men!

2. The dream of the poet, the crown of the ages,The time which the prophets of Israel foretold,That glorious day only dreamed by the sagesIs yours, O ye slumbering nations; behold!

3. Oh, lift up your voices in song and in story.Let banners of peace in all lands be unfurled,For truth, heaven-born, in its beauty and gloryIs marching triumphantly over the world.
