LyicsARM of the Lord, awake! awake!
Put on Thy strength, the nations shake,
And let the world, adoring, see
The works of mercy wrought by Thee.
Say to the heathen, from Thy throne,
"I am Jehovah--God alone!"
Thy voice their idols shall confound,
And cast their altars to the ground.
No more let human blood be spilt--
Vain sacrifice for human guilt!
But to each conscience be applied
The blood that flow'd from Jesus' side.
Almighty God, Thy grace proclaim
In every land, of every name!
Let adverse pow'rs before Thee fall,
And crown the Saviour Lord of all.
