mf AWAKE, awake, O Zion,

Put on thy strength divine,
The garments bright in beauty,
The bridal dress be thine :
Jerusalem the holy,

To purity restored;
Meek Bride all fair and lowly,

Go forth to meet thy Lord.

mf 2 From henceforth pure and spotless, All glorious within,

Prepared to meet the Bridegroom,

And cleansed from every sin; dim With love and wonder smitten, And bowed in guileless shame, Upon thy heart be written The new mysterious Name.

f 3 Jerusalem victorious

In triumph o'er her foes;
Mount Zion, great and glorious,
Thy gates no more shall close.

Earth's millions shall assemble
Around thine open door,
While hell and Satan tremble,

And earth and heaven adore. mf 4 The Lamb Who bore our sorrows, Comes down to earth again;

No sufferer now, but victor

For evermore to reign.
To reign in every nation,

To rule in every zone;
Oh world-wide coronation,
In every heart a throne!
mf 5 Awake, awake, O Zion,

Thy bridal day draws nigh;
The day of signs and wonders,
And marvels from on high.

dim Thy sun uprises slowly,

But keep thou watch and ward; cr Fair bride, all pure and lowly, Go forth to meet thy Lord. Amen.

mf FAR off our brethren's voices

Are borne from distant lands,
Far off our Father's children
Reach out their waiting hands.
"Give us," they cry, our portion;

Co-heirs of grace divine!
Give us the Word of promise,
On us let glory shine."

mf 2 Yea, though the world of waters
Between us ever rolls,

No ocean wastes may sever

The brotherhood of souls;
Far from us, they are of us;
No bound of all the earth
May part the sons and daughters
Who share the second birth.

mf [3 One standard floats above us;
One old historic throne,
In nearness or in distance,
One loyal faith we own;
cr So in the things eternal

Adore we at one shrine,
And with the nation's banner
Rear we the Church's sign.

mf 4 In happiest homely commune, When sweetest songs are sung, Awakes those alien echoes

One sacred mother-tongue.
cr Then let us praise together!
Together let us pray,
And go together homeward
Upon the ancient way.]

f 5 Together, heavenward, homeward;
For ever in our view
One spiritual city-
Jerusalem the New;
For ever drawing nearer
To One beloved, adored,
The Crucified Who bought us,
The crowned Incarnate Lord.

mp 6 Lord God! Eternal Father!
Send down the Holy Dove,
For His dear sake Who loved us,
To quicken us in love.

cr Bless us with His compassion,
That we, or ere we rest,
May work to bless our brethren,
And, blessing, be more blessed.

f

Amen. S. J. STONE, V. 1, ll. 2, 8 altd.
