When We Waken

1 When the long, long night is over,
And we waken from our sleep;
When the shadows dark shall hover,
And no watcher vigils keep.

Chorus:
Oh, the rapture of the morning!
When the long, long night is o'er;
Oh, the garlands for adorning,
When we waken evermore!

2 Shall we wake to blessed morning
In the world beyond the skies,
And wear garlands for adorning
In that home where man ne'er dies? [Chorus]

3 Sweet will be the life up yonder,
Rare will be the music heard;
Nevermore from him to wander,
Who has kept his gracious word. [Chorus]
