Zion, awake, and for Christ’s sake,
Thy spirit’s strength put on;
Wake from thy sleep, thy Lord to meet,
Lest he may not thee own.
Be cleansed from sin, be pure within,
And ready waiting stand;
Christ will soon come to call thee home,
To the celestial land.
But know this sure, thou must be pure,
Thou must from idols turn;
False worship ye must put away,
And humble meekness learn.
Christ will reject all those except
Who know him as their King;
And who on earth, ‘midst sin and mirth,
Prove faithful unto him.
The time will come when Christ will own,
Those who him here will know;
Your lamps then trim, your vessels fill,
And to the wedding go.
