WAKE, O EARTH [ADAPTED]
Author(s): Emmanuel
Songbook: Praise Songs
KeyWords: Pioneering,

Wake, O Earth, wake everything!
Wake and hear the joy we bring!
Sing creation! Sing tonight,
Heaven and every twinkling light.

Chorus:
Wake, O Earth, wake everything!
Wake and hear the joy we bring!
Sing creation! Sing tonight,
Heaven and every twinkling light!
Gone the darkness all around us,
From the Earth is risen a Sun!
Shines all night though day be done.

Hail, O Sun, O blessed Light,
Fill us with Your glorious light,
Let Thy Love and Heavenly powers,
Shine into these hearts of ours;
For we know that Thou art truly
God and Man we do confess.
Hail, O Sun of Righteousness!

[Repeat Chorus]

Tho' the darkness may draw near
Angels tell us not to fear,
Clap their hands and loudly cry,
"Come ye children, wake and rise!"

[Repeat Chorus]

Wake, O Earth, wake everything!
Wake and hear the joy we bring!
Sing creation! Sing tonight,
Heaven and every twinkling light.

[Repeat last four lines]
