Awake, O Spirit of the watchmen    

1) Awake, O Spirit of the watchmen
contending from the walls of Zion
who never held their peace by day or night,
against the foe, confiding in your might.
Throughout the world their cry is ringing still
and bringing peoples to your holy will.

2) O Lord, now let your fire enkindle
our hearts, that ev'rywhere its flame may go
and spread the glory of redemption,
that all the world your saving grace may know.
O harvest Lord, look down on us and view
how white the fields, the laborers, how few!

3) Send forth, O Lord, your strong Evangel
by many messengers, all hearts to win.
Make haste to help us in our weakness,
break down the realm of Satan, death, and sin.
The circle of the earth shall then proclaim
your kingdom and the glory of your name.
