Awake! you who sleep, arise from the dead, I will enlighten you! (Ephesians 5:14) We called in the darkness, Watchman, will the night soon pass? But the Watchman said: if the morning comes soon, it will yet again be night; and if you ask, you will return and ask again, Watchman, will the night soon pass? (Isaiah 21:11–12) 7. Chor The night has passed, but the day has come. So let us cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, and take up the armor of light. (Romans 13:12) 8. Chorale Now let us all thank God with hearts and hands and voices, who in all adversity will be merciful to us, who does so much good, who from childhood has kept us in his care and done good to all. Praise, honor and glory be to God the Father, and the Son, and his Holy Spirit on heaven's highest throne. Praise to God, three in one, who separated night and darkness from light and dawn, give thanks to him with our song. 9. [Duet] So I sing your praises with my song forever, faithful God! And thank you for all the good you have done to me. Though I wander in night and deep darkness and enemies beset me all around I will call upon the name of the Lord, and he saved me by His goodness. 10. Chorus You peoples! give unto the Lord glory and strength! You kings! give unto the Lord glory and strength! The sky will bring forth the Lord glory and strength! Let the earth bring forth the Lord glory and strength! (Psalm 96) All thanks to the Lord! Praise the Lord and exalt his name and praise his glory. (I Chronicles 16:8–10) Everything that has breath praise the Lord, Hallelujah!
