Awake Lyrics

Feel your soul's anticipation

Of a new dawn, the healing of our fears

For the world that waits with eager expectation

Finds its joy when the Son appears

Church, we live between two advents

Emmanuel will come to earth again

And as we navigate the middle and its tensions

Wait and long, but know that it will end

Awake

Awake

Keep awake

The night is here for now but it won't stay

See as night gives way to morning

The hope we hold will not put us to shame

For the King of Kings will reappear in glory

And His church is yearning for that day

Awake

Awake

Keep awake

The night is here for now but it won't stay

Awake

Awake

Keep awake

The night is here for now but it won't stay

But it won't stay

But it won't stay

O come, o come Emmanuel

Disperse the dark we know so well

We'll set our eyes beyond their scope

Till we see the Light who is our hope

The dawn will break and shadows fall

When the night retreats from heaven's throne

Each tear will dry, all doubting cease

As the King of Light claims victory

Let daystar rise, the saints prevail

We'll forget the pain that midnight held

And God Himself will be our Sun

It's the advent we are waiting for

Awake

Awake

Keep awake

The light is here with us and it won't fade

Awake

Awake

Keep awake

The light is here with us and it won't fade

And it won't fade

It won't fade
