Wake up, O sleeper, awake from the dead. Rise from the dead, and Christ
will give you light. Wake from your slumber, we must redeem the time.

Wake from your slumber, we must redeem the time. These days are evil,
and we must redeem the time. Therefore he saith, Awake, thou that
sleepest.

Arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then, that ye
walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. We must redeem the time,
because the days are evil.

Therefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord
is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess. But be filled with
the Spirit, and speak unto yourselves in songs and hymns, in spiritual
songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father, in the name
of the Lord Jesus. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of
God. How long, O sleeper, will you sleep in sin? How long, O sleeper,
will you sleep in sin? Will you sleep in sin? When will you arise?
Please sleep no longer, we weep for you now.

Please sleep no longer, we weep for you now. We weep for you, in the
sake of your dear life. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word
shall not pass away.

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man. Know not the angels which
are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Watch and pray, but ye
know not that it is how it is.

The Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and
gave authority to his servants, and to every man in his work, and
commanded the poor to watch. Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when
the master of the house cometh, or at midnight, or the cock crowing, or
in the morning. Thus coming suddenly, ye find you sleeping.

And what I say unto you, I say unto all, watch. Hear him, O sleeper, he
is calling to you. Hear him, O sleeper, he is calling to you.

He is calling to you in the midst of your night. Wake up, O sleeper, the
Savior is among you. Arise, O dreamer, the Savior is among you.

The Savior is longing to be your delight.
