1.

Hallelujah, it is still the time of grace!
“Watch and pray,” the trumpet sounds in every place.
By God’s Word my heart is stirred,
And I know my prayers are heard;
I’ve the chance to hear but also do His Word.

Chorus:

O what a golden opportunity!
I’m tempted, and I see the sin that dwells in me.
In God’s great might I will rise up and fight.
Each sin will be condemned, and victorious I’ll stand!

2.

It is glorious to hear God’s Word today;
But God also longs that I in faith obey.
He with fire baptizes me,
And through battle I’m set free
From my wretched nature! What great liberty!

3.

Though I’m weak, I am with God a mighty man!
When by faith I fight, no enemy can stand!
Now the way ahead I see.
Faith and pow’r belong to me;
Every day becomes a day of liberty!
