Awake, awake! Put on strength,
O arm of the Lord;
awake as in the ancient days.
Art thou not he that hath cut Rahab,
and wounded the dragon?
Art thou not he who hath dried the sea,
the waters of the great deep;
that hath made the depths of the sea
a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return,
and come with singing unto Zion;
and everlasting joy and holiness
shall be upon their heads;
and they shall obtain gladness and joy;
sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
