Awake, Awake, O Christian!

Verse 1

Awake, awake, O Christian, The battle draweth near; The “Daystar” brightly shineth, The King will soon appear; He comes His own to gather, And lead them forth to war; Behold, His blood-stain’d banner Is streaming now afar.

Chorus

Awake, awake, O Christian! The battle draweth near; The “Daystar” brightly shineth, The King will soon appear.

Verse 2

Awake, awake, O Christian, How canst thou longer sleep To thee thy Lord is calling, The watch for Him to keep; Make haste, put on thine armor, And follow in His train; With Jesus thou must suffer, If thou with Him would’st reign.

Verse 3

Awake, awake, O Christian, Thy crown let no man take, Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Tho’ billows round thee break; Soon, soon the blessed welcome, On yonder radiant shore; “Well done,” thy joyous greeting, When conflicts all are o’er.
