Awake, awake, put on strength,
\nO arm of the Lord;
\nawake, as in days of old,
\nthe generations of long ago.
\nWas it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces,
\nthat didst pierce the dragon?
\nWas it not thou that didst dry up the sea,
\nthe waters of the great deep;
\nthat didst make the depths of the sea a way
\nfor the redeemed to pass over?
\nAnd the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
\nand come to Zion with singing;
\neverlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
\nthey shall obtain joy and gladness,
\nand sorrow and sighing shall flee away.<\/p>\n
