293 ~ Awake! Jerusalem, Awake!

1

Awake! Jerusalem, awake! No longer in thy sins lie down; The garment of salvation take, Thy beauty and thy strength put on.

2

Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight, And hides the promise from thine eyes: Arise, and struggle into light; The great Deliverer calls, Arise!

3

Shake off the bands of sad despair; Zion, assert thy liberty; Look up, thy broken heart prepare, And God shall set the captive free.

4

Vessels of mercy, sons of grace, Be purged from every sinful slain; Be like your Lord, His word embrace, Nor bear His hallowed name in vain.
