Ye slum­ber­ing Chris­tians,
Arouse ye, awake!
The cap­tives to free
And the strong­holds to take!
So ma­ny are out in
The by­ways of sin,
And Je­sus en­treats you
To ga­ther them in.

Refrain

Ye slum­ber­ing Chris­tians,
Arise and go forth;
Go ga­ther im­mor­tals
Of in­fi­nite worth.

Go for­ward! Go for­ward,
And prove by your toil,
That God’s Ho­ly Spi­rit
Is lead­ing the while!
True faith and good works go
Together al­way,
And bless­ings await for
The souls that obey.

Refrain

Your beau­ti­ful gar­ments,
O Zi­on, put on,
And la­bor with zeal
For the In­fi­nite One!
Go forth with your hearts
Overflowing with love,
And win pre­cious souls
For the king­dom above.

Refrain
