1.

Beloved soul, wake up and wait no longer;
God’s Word shall be a lamp unto your feet.
Your vision lift to Him for strength to conquer,
For with His Father’s heart each need He’ll meet.

2.

Come, find your place with us among the brothers,
And blend your voice with ours in praise so new.
O let your love continue toward the others;
Then you will find, the sun will rise for you.

3.

The clouds disperse, and light through them is breaking.
Clear skies we see; the sun will ne’er go down.
Our hearts rejoice, but hell with dread is quaking.
It must give place where love of Christ is found.

4.

The Spirit’s oneness opens doors to heaven.
It’s only gained when “self” you sacrifice.
Keep pure your heart by purging out sin’s leaven.
Woe unto those who will not pay the price.

5.

All mankind yearns for joy and liberation;
They blindly grope, but find no way to peace.
Shall you and I fulfill our obligation
And show life’s way to them ere life doth cease?
