  1. 1Awake, O church of God, awake!
  2. No longer in thy sins lie down;
  3. The garment of salvation take,
  4. Thy beauty and thy strength put on.
  5. Awake, O Church of God, awake!
  6. Be purged from ev’ry sinful stain;
  7. Awake, O Church of God, awake!
  8. Nor bear His hallowed name in vain.
  9. 2Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight,
  10. And hides the promise from thine eyes;
  11. Arise, and struggle into light,
  12. The great Deliv'rer calls: “Arise!”
  13. Awake, O Church of God, awake!
  14. Be purged from ev’ry sinful stain;
  15. Awake, O Church of God, awake!
  16. Nor bear His hallowed name in vain.
  17. 3Shake off the bands of sad despair;
  18. Assert thy blood-bought liberty;
  19. Look up, thy broken heart prepare,
  20. And God shall set the captive free.
  21. Awake, O Church of God, awake!
  22. Be purged from ev’ry sinful stain;
  23. Awake, O Church of God, awake!
  24. Nor bear His hallowed name in vain.
