Awake and Arise

Awake and Arise

• 1. Awake and arise, O ye slumbering nations!
  The heavens have opened their portals again.
  The last and the greatest of all dispensations
  Has burst like a dawn o'er the children of men!
• 2. The dream of the poet, the crown of the ages,
  The time which the prophets of Israel foretold,
  That glorious day only dreamed by the sages
  Is yours, O ye slumbering nations; behold!
• 3. Oh, lift up your voices in song and in story.
  Let banners of peace in all lands be unfurled,
  For truth, heaven-born, in its beauty and glory
  Is marching triumphantly over the world.
