CGS Lyrics
Verse 1
Awake, awake all nations
No longer slumber on
Our light of lights supernal
Now makes its rays appear
The sun gives natural light
Christ illuminates the heart
Must the hope of our fathers
Dawn upon us in vain?
Verse 2
He comes from sin to set free
And darkness to dispel
Rejoice Christ's kingdom bring us
A great era of peace
To him let's bring our offerings
Of worship, love and praise
Wise men brought gifts from afar
Shall we not give our hearts
Verse 3
Let us give our hearts to Him
Let us be enthroned there
Surrender all to Jesus
Be subject to His will,
Rejoice! again rejoice,
For Christ the Lord is come,
For the rich and the poor,
Our Lord Jesus is come.
Awake, awake all nations
No longer slumber on
Our light of lights supernal
Now makes its rays appear
The sun gives natural light
Christ illuminates the heart
Must the hope of our fathers
Dawn upon us in vain?
Verse 2
He comes from sin to set free
And darkness to dispel
Rejoice Christ's kingdom bring us
A great era of peace
To him let's bring our offerings
Of worship, love and praise
Wise men brought gifts from afar
Shall we not give our hearts
Verse 3
Let us give our hearts to Him
Let us be enthroned there
Surrender all to Jesus
Be subject to His will,
Rejoice! again rejoice,
For Christ the Lord is come,
For the rich and the poor,
Our Lord Jesus is come.
