Rise up , rise up you slumbering hearts- you must awaken and so be taken

 

 

 

 

Away to a place where darkness departs- His glory adore forevermore

 

 

 

Rise up, rise up and exalt his name- Soon comes His day, so now lift up his way

 

 

So shake off your sleep of guilt and of shame- your Lord bestows graceto them that he knows

 

 

In the light of his day we know he lives I n the sight of the one who all life gives

 

 

We find security and purity We find a perfect place where we can be free

 

 

So in his presence forever we sing- of pardoning grace of a prepared place

 

 

 

 And forever we hide beneath his wing  with praise adore him forevermore.
