Lyrics

1. Awake, sons of the kingdom, the King is drawing nigh. Arise and hail with gladness the Ruler from on high. God's children, come and see! The goal we are now nearing: our banner proudly bearing: "We're waiting, Lord, for Thee."
2. Look up, ye tearful mourners, the King is very near. Away with grief and sorrow; behold, our help is here; here in this holy place, O blessed consolation! We find here our salvation through Him who grants us grace.
3. Arise, ye much afflicted, your King is not afar. Rejoice, ye long dejected, here comes the Morning Star! The Lord is with us now; though troubles here distress you, with comfort He will bless you, ev'n death to Him shall bow.
4. Up, up, ye faint and fearful, the King now comes with might; His heart hath long since loved us and makes our darkness light. Now are our sorrows o'er; no wrath shall e'er befall us, since God in grace doth call us His children evermore.
