Wake, O wake, and sleep no longer

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938); P. Nicolai (1556-1608) Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables Lyrics: 1 Wake, O wake, and sleep no longer, for he who calls you is no stranger: awake, God's own Jerusalem! Hear, the midnight bells are chiming the signal for his royal coming: let voice to voice announce his name! We feel his footsteps near, the Bridegroom at the door — Alleluia! The lamps will shine with light divine as Christ the saviour comes to reign. 2 Zion hears the sound of singing; her heart is thrilled with sudden longing; she stirs, and wakes, and stands prepared. Christ her friend, and lord, and lover, her star and sun and strong redeemer — at last his mighty voice is heard. The Son of God has come To make with us his home: sing Hosanna! The fight is won, the feast begun; we fix our eyes on Christ alone. 3 Glory, glory, sing the angels, while music sounds from strings and cymbals; all humankind, with songs arise! Twelve the gates into the city, each one a pearl of shining beauty; the streets of gold ring out with praise. All creatures round the throne adore the holy One with rejoicing: Amen be sung by every tongue to crown their welcome to the King. Used With Tune: SLEEPERS, WAKE
