The Great Awakening song by Leeland!

 

 

 

"Awaken" poem by Lawrence Tribble

1740’s America

 

This poem has been variously dated as 1751, 1770 or "late Eighteenth Century."

Doubtless written to celebrate "The Great Awakening" religious revival in America which began in the 1740s, it was also revived at the time of the Revolution.

 

The Great Awakening song by Leeland:

 

One Man awakes,
Awakens another.
Second one awakens
His next-door brother.
Three awake can rouse a town

And turn
The whole place
Upside down.
 


Many awake
Will make such a fuss

Finally awakens
The rest of us.
One man wakes ,
With dawn in his eyes,
Surely then,
It Multiplies.

Surely then,
It Multiplies.

 

Oh Oh Oh Oh

 Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh Oh Oh

 Oh Oh Oh Oh

Oh Oh Oh Oh

 Oh Oh Oh Oh

 

Repeat
