1. Hymn 27
Awake, awake, O Zion

2. 1
Awake, awake, O Zion,
put on they strength divine;
thy garments bright in beauty,
the bridal dress, be thine.
Jerusalem the holy,
to purity restored,
meek bride, all fair and lowly,
go forth to meet thy Lord.

3. 2
Jerusalem victorious,
in triumph o’er her foes;
Mount Zion, great and glorious,
thy gates no more shall close;
Earth’s millions shall assemble
around thine open door,
while sin and darkness tremble,
and earth and heaven adore.

4. 3
The Lamb who bore our sorrows
comes down to earth again,
no sufferer now, but victor,
for evermore to reign:
To reign in every nation,
to rule in every zone –
O world-wide coronation,
in every heart a throne!

5. thy bridal day draws near, the day of signs and wonders, 4
Awake, awake, O Zion,
thy bridal day draws near,
the day of signs and wonders,
and marvels from on high.
Thy sun uprises slowly,
but keep thou watch and ward:
fair bride, all pure and lowly,
go forth to meet thy Lord.
