In the beginning God claimed the earth
With all its wonders and its worth
Upon oceans foundation, rivers embrace
He laid the world with divine grace
Who can ascend Mount God so high
Only the pure heart lit under His sky
Men of integrity, women of virtue
With God by their side they pursue
Awake, O city, from your slumber deep
Awake, O people, from your silent keep
A walking glory approaches, ready to reign
God mighty and majestic in His domain
O Jacob, seeker of the divine
In God's presence your soul shall shine
The quest for truth, the search for light
Guided by God's celestial might
Awake, O city, from your dreamy state
Awake, O people, before it's too late
King Lo, approaches with angels in tow
His magnificence the world shall know
Awake, O city, from your dreamy state
Awake, O people, before it's too late
King Lo, approaches, ready to reign
God mighty and majestic in His domain
Finds His peace from the valleys low
To the mountains crease
So let us rise with hearts aglow
In God's love our spirits grow
Awake, O city, from your drowsy state
Awake, O we await at heaven's gate
Guiding us through life's uncertain fate
Awake, O city, from your slumber deep
Awake, O people, from your silent keep
A walking glory approaches, ready to reign
God mighty and majestic in His domain
So let us heed the call and rise as one
In God's kingdom our journey begun
For He is King, glory forevermore
God of the angel armies whom we adore
