Wake up O people

Wake up, O people, the Lord is very near,
Wake up and stand for the Lord.
Wake up, O people, the Lord is very near,
Wake up and stand for the Lord.

Your saving Lord is near, Wake up!
His glory will appear, Wake up!
Your hour of grace is nearer than it ever was.

The night of sin has past, Wake up!
The light is near at last, Wake up!
The Day Star, Christ, the Son of God will soon appear.

To live in love and peace, Wake up!
To let all quarrels cease, Wake up!
To live that all you do may stand the light of day.

That Christ may be your shield, Wake up!
That death to life may yield, Wake up!
That heaven's gate be opened wide again for you.
