Awake Awake Songtext
von Waterson:Carthy

Awake, awake, you drowsy souls
And hear what I shall tell
Remember Christ the Lamb of God
Redeemed our souls from hell
He crowned with thorns, spit on with scorn
They bruised His bleeding body so

So God send you all a joyful new year, a new year
So God send you all a joyful new year

They bound Christ′s body to a tree
And they wounded Him full sore
From every wound the blood ran down
'Til Christ could bleed no more
His dying wounds they rent and tore
And covered with pearly gore

So God send you all a joyful new year, a new year
So God send you all a joyful new year


Then Jesus he called to Thomas
And bid him come and see
And thrust thy fingers in My wounds
Which are in My body
And be not faithless but believe
And happy you shall be

So God send you all a joyful new year, a new year
So God send you all a joyful new year

Then Jesus called his disciples down
And tried them over death
He said, "All power shall be given to you
In heaven and on earth
Go forth and teach all nations
Despising you of any rest"

So God send you all a joyful new year, a new year
So God send you all a joyful new year

Go seek every wandering sheep
As far as earth remains
′Til I Myself have paid your debts
And turned you back again
Come all you heavy laden
And I will ease you of your pain

So God send you all a joyful new year, a new year
So God send you all a joyful new year
