Author: Benjamin Gough Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13091 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Awake! awake! O Zion! Lyrics: 1 Awake! awake! O Zion!
Put on thy strength divine—
Thy garments, bright in beauty—
The bridal dress be thine:
Jerusalem the holy,
To purity restored;
Meek bride, all fair and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord.
2 From henceforth pure and spotless,
All glorious within,
Prepared to meet the Bridegroom,
And cleansed from every sin;
With love and wonder smitten,
And bowed in guileless shame,
Upon thy heart be written
The new mysterious name.
3 Jerusalem the holy,
In light and peace behold;
Her glowing altars flaming,
Her candlesticks of gold.
The heav’nly Bridegroom’s dwelling,
The place of David’s thrones;
Her solemn anthems swelling,
Her pavement precious stones.
4 Jerusalem, victorious
In triumph o’er her foes;
Mount Zion, great and glorious,
Thy gates no more shall close:
Earth’s millions shall assemble
Around thy open door,
While hell and Satan tremble,
And earth and Heav’n adore.
5 The Lamb who bore our sorrows
Comes down to earth again;
No sufferer now, but victor,
For evermore to reign;
To reign in every nation,
And rule in every zone:
O world-wide coronation!
In every heart a throne.
6 Awake! awake! O Zion!
Thy bridal day draws nigh—
The day of signs and wonders,
And marvels from on high:
The sun uprises slowly,
But keep thou watch and ward;
Fair bride, all pure and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PAUL
