Lyrics
Awake Thou that Sleepest
Awake thou that sleepest,
Arise from the dead;
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light.
Awake thou that sleepest,
Arise from the dead;
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light.
But now is Christ risen from the dead,
Now is the Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first fruits of them that slept,
The first fruits of them that slept.
For Christ is risen from the dead;
He hath triumphed over death and grave.
Awake thou that sleepest,
Arise from the dead;
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light,
And Christ shall give thee light.
