Awake Ye Guilty Souls Awake – Hymn Lyric
Awake, ye guilty souls, awake,
Nor sleep, till Tophet takes you in!
The Lord of hosts is ris’n to shake
The earth polluted with your sin.
Enter into the Rock, and hide
Your trembling spirits in the dust;
Fly to the clefts, the riven side,
And in a dying Savior trust.
Before the Lord’s fierce anger come,
Before He bring the vengeful day,
And fix th’ irrevocable doom,
And earth’s foundations melt away.
Before its mouth it opens wide,
And gasps to feel the final blow;
Firmer support, ye worms, provide,
Or sink into eternal woe.
Meaning of Awake Ye Guilty Souls Awake
Awake, ye guilty souls, awake!
Can you feel the weight of your mistakes? The burden of your sins? It’s time to face the truth, to confront the choices that have led you astray. But fear not, for there is hope. The Lord of hosts is here, ready to guide you towards redemption and forgiveness.
You see, the earth has become polluted with our wrongdoings. The choices we’ve made, the actions we’ve taken, they have stained the very fabric of our existence. But it’s not too late to make amends. The Lord calls upon us to awaken from our slumber, to shake off the chains of our guilt, and to seek refuge in His love.
Enter into the Rock, my friends, and hide your trembling spirits in the dust. Seek solace in the depths of humility, where grace can be found. It is in surrendering ourselves that we find strength, for it is only through acknowledging our weaknesses that we can truly be lifted up.
Fly to the clefts, seek refuge in the riven side of our Savior. It is through His sacrifice, through His death and resurrection, that we find salvation. In a dying Savior, we trust. He bears the weight of our sins, allowing us to be free from our past mistakes. It is in His loving embrace that we find comfort, knowing that we are not defined by our guilt, but rather by His grace.
Before the Lord’s fierce anger comes, before He brings forth the vengeful day, let us prepare ourselves. Let us not wait until it is too late, until our fate is sealed. Instead, let us embrace His mercy and forgiveness now. His love is boundless, His embrace everlasting. Seek Him, turn to Him, and find peace before the storms of judgment arrive.
And when that day comes, when the earth’s foundations start to crumble and melt away, let us not be caught unprepared. Let us not be like worms, sinking into eternal woe. Instead, let us find firmer support. Let our foundation be rooted in faith, in love, and in the knowledge that we are embraced by a merciful God.
Awake, ye guilty souls, awake! It is time to rise from the depths of our mistakes and embrace the light of forgiveness. Let the hymn be a reminder of our need to confront our guilt, to seek redemption, and to find solace in the arms of our loving Savior.
Do not delay, for the time is now. Seek His forgiveness, seek His guidance, and allow Him to transform your guilt into a story of redemption. Awake, ye guilty souls, awake, and let the Lord’s love wash over you like a healing balm. May His grace lead you towards a life of righteousness and peace.
