Second Joseph
Awake, awake! Open up your eyes!
Awaken now! We must prepare to flee!
Come, Joseph, come, make hast! Make haste and rise!!
While there is time--and opportunity!
Awake, awake, the dawn is blood-cold steel!
Make haste into the armor of the night!
I hear the distant hooves, a thunder peal--
The storm draws near! We must prepare for flight!
Awake, awake! The night is overslept!
How many miles to Egypt, how many tears?
Where once our fathers labored, mothers wept,
We now seek refuge--haste, the tumult nears--
As Joseph led his tribe to slavery
Now serve the babe who sets the whole world free!
As Joseph led his tribe to slavery,
Now save the babe who sets the whole world free!
