Awake, Jerusalem, awake, no longer thy sins

This is an expository song based on Isaiah 52:1-6.

Verse 1
Awake, Jerusalem, awake,
No longer in thy sins lie down,
The garment of salvation take, (Isa. 61:10)
Thy beauty, and thy strength put on. (Isa. 52:1)

Verse 2
By impious feet no longer trod, (Isa. 52:1)
Thy God shall cleanse thy every stain, (Ps. 51:2, Zech. 3:4, I John 1:7)
O holy city of thy God, (Rev. 21:2)
Thou shalt not bear his name in vain. (Ex. 20:7, Deut. 5:11)

Verse 3
Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight, (Isa. 52:2)
And hides the promise from thine eyes,
Arise, and struggle into light, (Isa. 60:1, Eph. 5:14)
Thy great deliverer calls, Arise!

Verse 4
Shake off the bands of sad despair, (Isa. 52:2)
Sion assert thy liberty, (Isa. 52:2)
Look up, thy broken heart prepare, (Ps. 147:3)
And God shall set the captive free. (Ps. 146:7, Isa. 61:1, Luke 4:18)

Verse 5
For thus the Lord your God hath said,
Ye all have sold yourselves for nought, (Isa. 52:3)
A ransom (not by you) is paid, (Isa. 52:3, I Pet. 1:18-19)
Receive your liberty unbought.

Verse 6
My people have been long opprest,
No glory thence redounds to me,
Long have I seen them sore distrest,
Griev’d at my people’s misery. (Judg. 2:18, Ex. 3:7, Isa. 63:9)

Verse 7
They groan’d beneath the tyrant’s chain, (Isa. 52:2)
Sin rul’d them with an iron rod, (Ps. 107:10, Rom. 6:16-18)
The suffering abjects howl’d for pain, (Isa. 52:5)
They groan’d, but durst not groan to God.

Verse 8
Th’ oppressors with insulting boast,
My truth and saving power contemn’d,
My worship, and my praise was lost,
My name was every day blasphem’d. (Isa. 52:5, Ps. 74:10, Ezek. 36:20-23, Rom. 2:24)

Verse 9
For this my jealousy is stir’d, (Ezek. 39:25)
And shall a great deliverance shew, (Ps. 98:2)
My people shall confess their Lord, (Ps. 50:15)
My faithfulness and mercy know.

Verse 10
Surely they all shall know my name, (Isa. 52:6)
They all my attributes shall prove:
I am, what I am call’d; I am (Isa. 52:6, Ex. 3:14)
Justice, and truth, and power, and love. (Ex. 34:6, Ps. 89:14)
