Lord, Thy ransomed Church is waking

Out of slumber far and near

Knowing that the morn is breaking

When the Bridegroom shall appear

Waking up to claim the treasure

With Thy precious life-blood bought

And to trust in fuller measure

All Thy wondrous death hath wrought.

Praise to Thee for this glad shower

Precious drops of latter rain

Praise, that by Thy spirit’s power

Thou has quicken’d us again

That Thy Gospel’s priceless treasure

Now is borne from land to land

And that all the Father’s pleasure

Prospers in Thy pierced hand.

Praise to thee for saved ones yearning

O’er the lost and wandering throng

Praise for voices daily learning

To upraise the glad new song

Praise to Thee for sick ones hasting

Now to touch Thy garment’s hem

Praise for souls beliving-tasting

All Thy love has won for them.

Set on fire our heart’s devotion

With the love of Thy dear name

Till o’er every land and ocean

Lips and lives Thy Cross proclaim

Fix our eyes on Thy returning

Keeping watch till Thou shalt come

Loins well girt, lamps brightly burning

Then, Lord, take Thy servants home.

Amen
