Lift up your head Be on the lookout Wake from your bed Don't fall asleep Lift up your head He's comin' soon now Get yourself ready For the comin' of the King Could a mother, forget her children Could a husband, forget his wife? How much more then, will he remember Will He come and set things right! Lift up your head Be on the lookout Wake from your bed Don't fall asleep Lift up your head He's comin' soon now Get yourself ready For the comin' of the King Cast aside all the works of darkness Live as children of the day Light your lamp And keep them burnin' Till we see our bridegroom's face Lift up your head Be on the lookout Wake from your bed Don't fall asleep Lift up your head He's comin' soon now Get yourself ready For the comin' of the King See those fields, they're ripe for harvest See the work that's left undone Take to the world his love and justice Singin' "let his kingdom come!" Oh let his kingdom come! Lift up your head Be on the lookout Wake from your bed Don't fall asleep Lift up your head He's comin' soon now Get yourself ready For the comin' of the King Get yourself ready Get yourself ready Get yourself ready
