Bride Of The Lamb Awake Awake Lyrics

1. Bride of the Lamb, awake, awake!
Why sleep for sorrow now?
The hope of glory, Christ, is thine,
A child of glory thou.

2. Thy spirit, through the lonely night,
From earthly joy apart,
Hath sighed for One that's far away-
The Bridegroom of thy heart.

3. But see! the night is waning fast,
The breaking morn is near;
And Jesus comes, with voice of love,
Thy drooping heart to cheer.

4. He comes-for oh, His yearning heart
No more can bear delay-
To scenes of full unmingled joy
To call His bride away.

5. Then weep no more; 'tis all thine own
His crown, His joy divine;
And, sweeter far than all beside,
He, He Himself is thine!
