1.
Thousands of years have flown as a day;
Before the dawn the shadows deepen,
The enemy's army for battle is ready.
Church, get up!  You must triumph!
Stand up, get up, faithful people!
Hear the footsteps! —Your Lord comes!
Stand up, arise, enough slumbering—
Today is time the harvest to reap!

Chorus:
Stand up, arise, faithful people!
Hear the footsteps! —Your Lord comes!
Stand up, get up, enough slumbering—
The harvest will not wait!
Stand up, arise, faithful people!
Soon the Day of the Lord comes!
How long will you wait for grace?
It is time to save people!


2.
The Church of Christ is God's mouth.
Stand up, preach the Kingdom of Christ!
News of salvation from pole to pole
To all and everywhere proclaim.
Church of Christ, holiness keep!
Accept the Power of the Holy Spirit!
O Church, His Bride, be then faithful!
Listen to the call, wake up from slumber!

Brothers and sisters we have something to lose.
Is it possible today to keep silence?
Where are our children, loved ones, and friends?
Time to save them—do not hesitate!
Thousands of years have flown as a day;
Before the dawn the shadows deepen,
The enemy's army for battle is ready.
Church, get up!  You must triumph!
 
 
 
-------  To Fit the Meter ------- 

1.
Thousands of years now have flown as a day;
Before the dawn bids all shadows away,
Enemies come, to the battle draw near;
O Church, arise and dispel now all fear!
Stand up, arise now, you faithful of God,
Hear now His footsteps, in this way He trod!
Stand up, arise, enough of your sleep;
Now is the time for the harvest to reap!

Chorus:
Stand up, arise! O faithful of God!
Follow the steps where our Lord has trod!
Stand up, get up! Put sleep far away—
Harvest will not delay!
Stand up, arise! Be faithful and true!
For soon His Day will burst into view!
Do not just sit and wait for some grace—
Now is the time to save!

2.
The Church of Christ is the mouth of the Lord.
Stand up, O people and preach now His Word!
Salvation news proclaim loudly on earth
Tell everyone wondrous news of new birth!
O Church of Christ, in this holiness stay,
Pow'r of the Spirit to fill you each day!
O Church, His Bride! Be now faithful in all,
Shake off your slumber and heed now His call!

3.
Brothers and sisters, O think what we lose:
How can this silence be then what we choose?
Where are our children, our loved ones, and friends?!
Don't hesitate—it is time to save them!
Thousands of years now have flown as a day;
Before the dawn bids all shadows away,
Enemies come, to the battle draw near;
O Church, arise and dispel now all fear!
