Awake, My Sons, Awake is a stirring and powerful anthem from the words of Lehi and Paul. The words encourage us to awake and arise and to put on the armor of righteousness, be strong in the Lord, and let the Christ give us light!
This piece was performed multiple times by the Tabernacle Choir on Temple Square. It was also recorded by the BYU Men's Chorus and is included on their album, Praise Him.
A two-piano accompaniment version is also available. Please contact me for information on the two-piano version.
Lyrics
Awake, my sons, awake and arise.
Put on the armor of righteousness.
Shake off the chains with which ye are bound,
and come forth out of obscurity.
Gird your loins about with truth,
Take the helmet of salvation.
The breastplate of righteousness,
The sword of the spirit.
And take the shield of faith,
praying always unto God,
That you may not come down into captivity.
Awake from a deep sleep,
Arise from the dust, my sons, and be men.
Be men!
Awake, my sons, awake and arise.
Put on the armor of righteousness.
Be strong in the Lord,
And in the power of his might.
Awake and let Christ give thee light.
