Hymn 520

Address to the church.

C.M.

ZION, awake, and for Christ's sake, Thy spirit's strength put on; Wake from thy sleep, thy Lord to meet, Lest he may not thee own.

Be cleans'd from sin, be pure within, And ready waiting stand; Christ will soon come to call thee home, To the celestial land.

But know this sure, thou must be pure, Thou must from idols turn; False worship ye must put away, And humble meekness learn.

Christ will reject all those except Who know him as their King; And who on earth, 'midst sin and mirth, Prove faithful unto him.

The time will come when Christ will own, Those who him here will know; Your lamps then trim, your vessels fill, And to the wedding go.
