Awake! Awake! O Christian,
For Satan seeks your joy,
He wants to make you falter,
Your walk he would destroy.
He whispers in your ears,
Puts sin before your eyes.
He tries to change your thinking
With his devilment and lies.
Awake! Awake! O Christian,
For the world would seek your soul,
It wants to make you like it,
Not partial, but the whole.
It offers you its pleasures,
Its money and its sin.
It makes you discontented,
It tries to draw you in.
Awake! Awake! O Christian,
For Jesus is your joy,
He wants to share His blessings,
He saves and not destroys.
He tells you of His comfort,
He shows you wondrous grace.
He came to earth to live for you,
To die there in your place.
Awake! Awake! O Christian,
For Christ restores your soul.
He wants to make you like Him -
Righteous, pure and whole.
He offers you His calm peace,
He sings love into your heart.
He intercedes for you in heaven,
His grace will ne'er depart.
Arise! Arise! O Christian,
Cast off your worldly thoughts,
Come serve your glorious Saviour.
Come enter heavenly courts.
Come, mortify the sin within,
Die to self and shame.
Come to the Great Redeemer,
Come! Give honour to His name.
