Author: Duffield Appears in 1,782 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 3:18 Lyrics: 1 Stand up! stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From victory unto victory His army shall be led, Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The trumpet-call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this his glorious day: Ye that are men, now serve him, Against unnumbered foes; Your courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone: The arm of flesh will fail you-- Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, And watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally!

"Sleepers, Wake!" A Voice Astounds Us

Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 3:16-17 Lyrics: 1 “Sleepers, wake!” a voice astounds us; the shout of rampart-guards surrounds us: "Awake, Jerusalem, arise!" Midnight’s peace their cry has broken, their urgent summons clearly spoken: "The time has come, O maidens wise! Rise up, and give us light; the Bridegroom is in sight. Alleluia! Your lamps prepare and hasten there, that you the wedding feast may share." 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing. Her heart with joyful hope is springing; she wakes and hurries through the night. Forth he comes, her bridegroom glorious in strength of grace, in truth victorious: her star is risen, her light grows bright. Now come, most worthy Lord, God's Son, Incarnate Word, alleluia! We follow all and heed your call to come into the banquet hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you; let saints and angels sing before you, as harps and cymbals swell the sound. Twelve great pearls, the city's portals: through them we stream to join the immmortals as we with joy your throne surround. No eye has known the sight, no ear heard such delight: alleluia! Therefore we sing to greet our King; forever let our praises ring. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
