1269. Awake, awake, O Zion

Author: Nathan Fellingham

AWAKE, AWAKE, O ZION, 
and clothe yourself with strength, 
shake off your dust and fix your eyes on him. 
For you have been redeemed  
by the precious blood of Jesus, 
and now you sit enthroned with him. 
 
     Our God reigns, he is King of all the earth; 
     our God reigns, and he’s seated on the throne. 
     Lift your voice and sing a song of praise; 
     our God reigns, the awesome Lord most high. 

   2.   How beautiful the feet are 
of those who bring good news, 
for they proclaim the peace that comes from God. 
Rise up, you holy nation, 
proclaim the great salvation, 
and say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns’. 
  
     Our God reigns… 
  
     Emmanuel, Emmanuel,  
     our God is with us now. 
          (sing twice) 
  
3.   The watchmen lift their voices 
and raise a shout of joy, 
for he will come again. 
Then all eyes will see
the salvation of our God, 
for he has redeemed Jerusalem 
  
     Our God reigns…
