Awake, awake; fling off the night!
For God has sent his glorious light;
And we who live in Christ's new day
Must works of darkness put away.
Let in the light; all sin expose
To Christ, whose life no darkness knows.
Before his cross for guidance kneel;
His light will judge, and juding, heal.
Awake, and rise up from the dead,
And Christ his light on you will shed.
Its pow'r will wrong desires destroy,
and your whole nature fill with joy.
