Awake O Sleeper
Leader sings lines in normal type. Congregation sing responses in bold.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead,
And Christ shall give you life.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead,
And Christ shall give you life.
You have died and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead.
Set your minds on things that are above
Not on things that are on the earth,
And Christ shall give you life.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead,
And Christ shall give you life.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead,
And Christ shall give you life.
When Christ your life appears,
You’ll appear with Him in glory.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead,
And Christ shall give you life.
Awake O sleeper and arise from the dead,
And Christ shall give you life.

At our church, we have morning prayer over Zoom. One of the regular leaders likes to use a responsory which is more usually sung at Easter. The first time I saw it, I immediately thought it would make a lovely song and set out to put it to music straight after the meeting finished.
