Awake, Jerusalem, Awake

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Jerusalem, awake, Thou that hast drunk the trembling cup, The slumber from thy spirit shake, Beneath thy mighty woes stand up. 2 Thou that hast drunk the deadly wine Of pain, astonishment, and fear, The last sad dregs of wrath divine; Awake, and see thy Savior near. 3 Of all her sons whom she brought forth, Of all her sons whom Sion bred, Not one can help her by his worth, Not one can his weak mother lead. 4 Not one attempts with pious care To guide her in the paths of peace: Ah! who shall Sion’s burdens bear? Ah! who shall bid thy sufferings cease? 5 Famine and sword have laid thee waste; Sin, the destroying angel’s sword Throughout thy desolate land has passed, Joined with a famine of the word. 6 By whom shall I thy sorrows cheer? As a wild bull thy sons lie bound, And struggling in the hunter’s snare, Are bellowing thro’ their spirit’s wound. 7 Fainting in all the streets they lie, O’erwhelmed beneath their guilty load, Rebuked by Him they dared defy, Full of the fury of thy God. 8 Wherefore to thee the Lord hath said, (Oppressed and drunk with wrath divine) The Lord thy God, who deigns to plead His people’s desperate cause, and thine; 9 “Lo! I thy soul have freely loved, I have displayed My mercy’s power, The cup out of thy hands removed, And thou shalt never taste it more. 10 “Mine indignation’s dreadful cup The portion of thy foes shall be, Thy, they shall all the dregs drink up: The cup of blessing is for thee. 11 “Thee, Sion, thee: so long compelled To stoop at the oppressor’s frown, Enslaved by man, and forced to yield, When sin, or Satan, cried ‘Bow down.’ 12 “Poor vassal! to rebel afraid, Thy baseness bowed to every lust, As clay thou hast thy body laid, And mixed thy spirit with the dust. 13 “But I, the righteous Lord, on all That tread thee down will vengeance take, My fury on thy sin shall fall, Mine arm an end of sin shall make. 14 Its being with its power destroy, The inward stumbling block remove, And fill thee with unfading joy, And crown thee with eternal love.

For strains of music that the soul doth thrill, Instrument, voice, and bird and bee and rill, Giving expression to the deepest heart, We praise the One who music doth impart. 3 For all that calls us from the quest of gain, For Christ’s compassion in the hour of pain, For faithful pleadings of our Spirit Guide, We praise the Friend who’s ever at our side. For better days, when partings are no more, For rest remaining on a happier shore, Hope of reunion there of friend with friend, We’ll praise our God in worlds that have no end.
