Jerusalem, Awake!

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

Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight, And hides the promise from thine eyes; Arise, and gladly hail the light: The great Deliv' rer calls, Arise!

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

Vessels of mercy, sons of grace, Be purged from ev' ry sinful stain; Behold your Lord! his Word embrace, Nor bear his hallowed name in vain.
