Awake! Jerusalem, awake!

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 293 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

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

Verse 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!

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
