Wake up and rise,
Wake up and rise,
Be alert and ready.
Our exalted Lord has risen from the dead
And now lives in heaven above.
1.
The time of darkness covering this earth
Will not last much longer.
Let us wake up and do His work,
Living with hope and expectation.
2.
The fig tree has begun to bud,
And summer is drawing near;
The coming of Christ is drawing near.
Let us, as His holy people,
Guard our holiness
And sing songs of victory together.
3.
Nothing we do for Christ
Will ever be in vain.
We will receive our reward
And wear our crowns
When our Beloved Lord comes.
4.
On that day, clothed in glorious new bodies,
Holding new harps and singing a new song,
We will never be separated again.
In heaven above,
We will live forever
Together with our Lord.
