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.
