AWAKE, AWAKE

Awake, awake, don’t hesitate
the light of dawn’s about to break,
the darkness in the world to cease
all His love gifts to increase.

Mankind in darkness, on the brink
to the evil abyss about to sink,
will wake at dawn’s first golden light
only then to see their dreadful plight.

So keep God always in your heart
let His presence from you never depart,
may His precious love shine through our eyes
and we’ll win at last the final prize.

Let us listen to His Holy Word
pray that the Good News will be heard,
let us be on guard, and for our sake
help us stay awake, awake.
