Christ is Calling

1. Our Lord is coming back, the call resounds, “Awake!”
    There is no time for sleeping or delaying.
The time has come already to complete the work,
    For Christ is calling, for Christ is calling; is calling;
The time has come already to complete the work,
    For Christ is calling.

2. We’re fitted with the weapons of new hearts and minds,
To fight against the Babylonian power.
Awake the time has come to bring an end to sin,
    For Christ is calling, for Christ is calling;
Awake the time has come to bring an end to sin,
    For Christ is calling.

3. In unity with Christ, we have new strength and pow’r,
    To overcome the world, the flesh, the devil.
Let’s seek to be made perfect in this judgment hour,
    For Christ is calling, for Christ is calling;
Let’s seek to be made perfect in this judgment hour,
    For Christ is calling.

4. Arise and shine, like glorious New Jerusalem;
    The whole creation waits for your appearing.
The glory of our God must be revealed through men,
    The Saviour’s calling, the Saviour’s calling;
The character of Christ will shine on earth again,
    The Saviour’s calling.

⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

¹⁶ Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; blow upon my garden, that the spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
