14221. O City Of David

1 O city of David, arouse from rest,
From slumber and dreaming arise!
Messiah long promised is now thy guest,
Come, join in the song of the skies!

Refrain:
His name shall be called Jesus,
Redeemer, Immanuel;
His name shall be called Jesus,
His pow’r the world shall win;
His name shall be called Jesus,
Redeemer, Immanuel;
His name shall be called Jesus,
For He shall save from sin.

2 O city of David, awake! Rejoice!
A Savior to thee has been giv’n;
Come welcome His presence with heart and voice,
Come, join in the gladness of Heav’n. [Refrain]

3 O city of David, awake, awake,
Behold all the skies are alight;
The gateways of Heaven are swung ajar,
Joy comes to the world this glad night. [Refrain]
