Wake, O Sleeper

### **Wake, O Sleeper**

*(Inspired by Romans 13:11‑14)*

**Verse 1:**

The night is fading, dawn draws near,

A cry rings out for all to hear.

The time has come, lift up your eyes—

Salvation’s light now fills the skies.

**Pre-Chorus:**

Too long we’ve wandered half-asleep,

While mercy calls and angels weep.

Now lift your eyes, the heavens gleam—

Salvation’s closer than our dreams!

**Chorus:**

Wake, O sleeper, rise and shine,

Put on the Lord—this heart is Thine.

Cast off the dark, the day’s begun,

Our hope is near in God’s dear Son.

**Verse 2:**

No more the deeds of night’s despair,

But walk in truth with hearts laid bare.

In Christ the armor pure and bright,

We stand and shine with holy light.

**Pre-Chorus:**

The night is far, the dawn is near,

The King of glory soon appears!

Let faith be armor, truth our guide,

Christ our covering, pure and bright.

**Chorus:**

Wake, O sleeper, rise and shine,

Put on the Lord—this heart is Thine.

Cast off the dark, the day’s begun,

Our hope is near in God’s dear Son.

**Verse 3:**

The day of glory soon will break,

Let every soul from slumber wake.

Clothed with Christ, our course we run,

Till faith is sight and work is done.

**Bridge:**

No turning back to fleshly chains,

His Spirit burns through every stain.

We walk as children of the day,

Until His light consumes all grey.

**Chorus:**

Wake, O sleeper, rise and shine,

Put on the Lord—this heart is Thine.

Cast off the dark, the day’s begun,

Our hope is near in God’s dear Son.

**Final Chorus:**

Wake, O sleeper, rise and shine,

Put on the Lord—this heart is Thine.

The night is gone, the Day has come,

We’re clothed with Christ, the Risen One.
