AWAKE AND IN HIS STRENGTH RENEWED

Awake and in His strength renewed

1.

Awake, and in His strength renewed,
The battle cry take up again;
All enemies shall be subdued,
And Christ the Lord shall reign.
Refrain
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!

2. 

Too long His foll’wers idly stood,
By selfish creed and doctrine rent;
Nor knew that for one Brotherhood
His own short life was spent.

Refrain
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!

3. 

Unite and in His strength go on,
Nor count a life as lost, but gain;
And soon the vict’ry shall be won,
For Jesus Christ must reign.

Refrain
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!

4. 

To dare and do for Him is meet,
The struggle shall not be in vain;
The trumpets shall not call “Retreat,”
For Jesus Christ must reign.

Refrain
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
For Christ must reign!
Our hope in Him is not in vain,
For Christ must reign!
