Wake up, Church! He's coming soon

And we must all be ready

Let's put our hands to the plough, dear saints

And keep our courses steady

Though the times are evil, the days so short

We must not be distracted

There's even yet more souls to reach

Whose lives must be impacted

With the Gospel, the Word of Life,

So that when that trumpet's sounded

Their faith and trust are firm in Him

And cannot be confounded.

And what of us?

When He returns, what will He find us doing?

Oh, how we need to redeem the time

And stop our to-ing and fro-ing!

Let's make sure our lives are right

And we've forgiven those who've hurt us

For otherwise we'll have no rest

And satan disconcert us

As far as it depends on us

We must make our peace with others

All His attributes display

My sisters and my brothers

It won't be long, dear brethren

Until He comes again

And when that wondrous day arrives

We'll shout a loud Amen!
